80 days. Here’s a Hungarian Wax Pepper like no other — brilliantly colored, prolific Geronimo Hybrid! This newcomer wows with neon-lime-green peppers on upright, very heavy-bearing plants. Discover a new favorite in garden and on plate — grow Geronimo this season!
The peppers mature from lime-green to cream, then to a blush-pink, and finally to a near-red shade of orange if you let them, but they can be harvested at any color. They appear on compact, well-branched plants just 16 to 24 inches high. A charming red shape (with a blunt tip and thick, very waxy skin), they dangle from the stems of the plant in great numbers, releasing a pungent aroma that warns away nibbling pests.
Start seeds indoors or, in climate with short growing seasons, outdoors at least one week after last frost. If starting indoors, allow 7 to 10 weeks for the seeds to mature into seedlings large enough to transplant safely. Set seedlings (or thin direct-sown seedlings) 2 feet apart in full sun. If planting many seedlings, space rows about 3 feet apart. Fertilize when the blooms appear, and water well. Fruit is most nutritious if allowed to ripen on the plant (instead of being picked when lime-green). Pkt is 25 seeds.
