Sweet Sunset brand pepper seed named All-America Selections Winner

Seminis Home Garden’s Sweet Sunset brand (of variety SV3782PP) pepper seed is among the first six All-America Selections AAS Winners for the 2015 gardening season.

 

A regional AAS winner, Sweet Sunset brand is a colorful sweet banana pepper hybrid that is good for container gardening and for fresh and canning uses as well as for frying, pickling, and cutting into pepper rings for salads, sandwiches and pizza toppings.

 

A compact, upright bush plant, Sweet Sunset brand pepper has X3R technology which provides resistance to Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria races 0-3, 7 and 8 and matures after approximately 85 days. It is best adapted for planting in the Southeast, Heartland and West/Northwest regions of the U.S.

 

Sweet Sunset brand pepper seed was trialed during the 2012 and 2013 growing seasons. All-America Selections grew the Sweet Sunset brand pepper seed and comparison varieties and then judges performed a side-by-side analysis of growth habit, taste, disease resistance and more to determine if Sweet Sunset brand peppers were truly better than those already available to home gardeners. Only those vegetables with superior taste and garden performance are given the AAS Winners designation.

 

Sweet Sunset brand pepper seed, along with other Seminis Home Garden varieties, will be available to home gardeners through our network of dealers, catalogues and garden centers in 2015.
