The bright red peppers have thick walls and measure 2.25 inches long by 1.25 inches wide.
Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper Care
This pepper plant can be planted in the ground, but the compact growth habit makes it a wonderful container plant. The Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper needs full sun to partial shade, but make sure to place the plant in bright sunlight if grown indoors. This plant will thrive in rich soil that has a neutral pH.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper
Sweet peppers can be picked at any time, but wait until they turn red for peak flavor. It will take 60 to 90 days before the vegetables are ready to be harvested.
Growing Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Peppers in Containers
Due to the small size, this pepper plant is intended to be grown in a container. Select a pot that measures 6 to 8 inches in diameter and has drainage holes.
Watering Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper Plants
This plant prefers to dry out mostly, so wait until the top several inches of soil is dry before watering. The Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper can handle drier conditions, so do not be in a rush to water.
Feeding Kitchen Minis™ Fresh Bites Red Pepper Plants
Rich soil will support new growth and a plentiful crop, but routinely feeding the plant will ensure continued growth and blooms. Fertilize using a balanced plant food every 2 to 3 weeks.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
