Pepper Seeds - Sweet Bulgarian

Sweet Bulgarian pepper plants are warm-season annuals with an upright, branching growth habit and steady, uniform development during the frost-free growing season. They are well adapted to warm and temperate climates and perform reliably in open garden beds, raised beds, and containers. Plants grown from seed establish well in fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from consistent sunlight and regular watering. This variety is commonly used in seasonal vegetable gardens where balanced growth and good air circulation are maintained.
