Seed Count

Sweet Long from Antibes is an elegant heirloom-style pepper known for its slender, elongated shape and bright lemon-yellow color at maturity. The smooth, glossy fruits typically grow 10–15 cm long, tapering to a gentle point. Crisp and juicy with thin walls, it offers a mild, sweet flavor with no heat.

Ideal for fresh eating, salads, sautéing, grilling, or light roasting, creating paprika.

Excellent for market gardens and home growers, it is productive and performs well in warm, sunny conditions.

Matures in approximately 60 days.

Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors 8–12 weeks before the last frost. Sow 6 mm deep. Transplant outdoors once temperatures remain above 10°C. Space plants 40 cm apart. Germination occurs in 7–10 days at 28–30°C.

The many varieties of sweet and hot peppers thrive on full sun and warm weather. Cold temperatures can weaken pepper plants and they may never fully recover, so don’t rush to plant in the spring. Be certain to use the black side of the mulch covers to speed soil warming and early growth, but be careful, as they can also overheat the plants in certain climates. Peppers can be temperamental if temperatures are too hot or too cool. Nighttime temperatures below 60°F or above 75°F can reduce fruit set. Peppers need a steady supply of water for their best performance, so be sure to check water levels each day. Like tomatoes, you may find blossom end rot on your peppers, which can be easily corrected. Peppers are prone to sun scald, so moving them to partial shade can help if temperatures become too hot. Sweet peppers can be cut up and eaten raw, roasted and marinated, sauteed; or used in stews, soups, and stir fry. Hot peppers can be pickled, added to stew, used in stir fry, and are excellent when dried and ground to be used as a seasoning to give nearly any dish a little kick.
