This is not the habanero pepper known as Grenada; instead, it's a new and very delicious variety of cubanelle pepper, quite sweet and fragrant, with extra-large fruit and terrific disease resistance. If you are new to growing Cuban peppers, make Grenada the star of your vegetable garden this season. You will fall in love!
These peppers are about 5 inches long and an inch or two in diameter, with a sort of caved-in, slightly twisty look. More carrot-shaped than blocky, they are blunt-ended and not very uniform, adding to their great plate appeal. No two will be just alike, but all will be so aromatic that you smell them before you see them in the garden, and so sweet that one bite will leave you demanding more!
Grenada turns from pale green to rich red, though it can be picked green with full flavor. This variety is renowned for its huge yields, thanks to superior resistance to bacterial leaf spot, the scourge of many a pepper plant. The fruit is smooth, supple, and thin-walled, great for eating fresh or cooking.
This plant is widely adapted, thriving in hot summers but quick enough to mature even in short-summer climates. You will find it vigorous, trouble-free, and quite heavy bearing. Consider planting a few extra among your flowering plants -- the peppers are lovely and the aroma helps keep pests at bay!
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 colorful and nutritious if allowed to ripen on the plant (instead of being picked when green). Pkt is 25 seeds.
This shrubby plant is grown for its edible fruit that are also highly ornamental and can be used in seasonal container displays. The fruits come in a variety of sizes, colors (green, red, yellow, orange, purple), shapes (rounded or oblong, tapered, bell-, horn-, hear-, or wedge-shaped), and degrees of sweetness and heat. Harvest them as soon as they are firm. They are edible in a variety of color stages(they mostly turn from green to red), so harvest them when they are at the right stage for that particular variety. They will hold in the field for 2-3 weeks: once harvested for a week or two.
Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
