(Sweet pepper.) The Ashe County Pimento truly stood out in our 2023 trials of early-ripening peppers, and we’re excited to offer it. Early, delicious, and prolific, (with an outstanding 19 peppers on a single plant), this heirloom variety from the cool Smoky Mountains performs beautifully in our cool, short summers as well. Perfect for those seeking a bountiful, flavorful harvest even in less-than-ideal growing conditions.

Growing recommendations
Start Ashe County Pimento seeds indoors about 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost. Keep seeds in a warm location to encourage germination. Transplant outdoors after the last frost, in full sun, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart. Water regularly and ensure well-drained soil. Peppers love heat but this variety can also be successfully grown in cooler regions.

We're trialing and breeding new varieties!
This is the most challenging and thrilling part of our work.
The trialing allows us to test varieties of a same species side by side and determine which one(s) taste and perform the best.
Breeding and variety maintenance means selecting for traits that are desirable such as flavor, texture, disease resitance, earliness and hardiness, just to mention a few.
