A tried-and-true heirloom. Pimento-shaped, 3 by 4" fruits are very sweet and meaty, making them ideal for canning, freezing and eating fresh. Plants are very productive, and fruits keep for weeks in the refrigerator.

Flavor surpasses all other peppers.
Jan 5, 2024  |  By JJ
I have grown many peppers, and the Sheepnose pimento has always been the flavor star of our sweet pepper garden. While heirloom, so a little less productive than all but the giant modern peppers, it has always been disease free and our favorite. Peppers freeze well (sliced or diced), and of course are delicious, crisp and juicy eaten fresh. I hope TT always offers seed for this old garden gem.
