Care & Harvest

💡Temperature: Prefers warmer temperatures (70-85°F).

🐝 Pollination: Peppers require pollination. Flowers develop 4-6 weeks after sprouting. Remove the first set of flower buds that grow by pinching them from behind to encourage root and foliage development. When the next flowers appear, hand-pollinate them by gently shaking the entire plant to replicate the effects of wind, or gently disturb the inside of blossoms with your finger or a small brush.

⭕ Support: We suggest using our Plant Belt to support the plant and its heavy fruit as it matures. 

✂️ Pruning: These peppers need minimal pruning. Snip away yellow or brown leaves if they appear. Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod. 

🔎 Plant Health: Gardyn peppers are prolific producers, even if they show signs of Edema, a harmless disorder. Aphids are a common pest, but you can use our prevention tricks to keep them at bay!

🌶 Harvest: Wait until the plant produces peppers measuring about 1 inch long and ½ inch wide. As the peppers ripen, they will change from green to a gorgeous lemon-yellow color. Harvest when yellow for peak heat by cutting each pepper at its individual stem. 

Quick Facts

Named for their bright yellow color, the Lemon Hot Pepper is a hybrid variety. Hybrids are grown by cross-pollinating different varieties, resulting in an array of unique shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors.

Lemon Hot Peppers are a unique variety that stays very compact, making them perfect for fitting your Gardyn even at maturity. The teardrop-shaped peppers ripen to a lemon-yellow color that will brighten up any Gardyn! Lemon Hot Peppers measure 40,000 Scoville heat units, placing them on a spiciness ranking alongside cayenne peppers.

Add Lemon Hot Peppers to any dish, raw or cooked, to crank up the heat. They are especially great in fresh salsas and homemade hot sauce.
