Veggie platter sweet pepper variety?

 

Hi. Can anybody give me a variety name for the mini sweet yellow and
red peppers that the supermarkets have in their veggie platters? I
bought a bag at Costco today and I thought I would grow some next
summer. I haven't found anything that looks like it online or in my
catalogs. I just noticed the bag says "Babylicious"TM in fine print.
I'll have to Google that and see what I find.

Thanks.

Doug

 


If the Costco peppers come with the seeds still in them, try planting
those. My wife occasionally comes across something interesting at the
supermarket and generally the seeds will germinate.

Yes, I suppose I can give that a try. I figure SOMEBODY must know what
variety they are and that the seeds are available. I'm a little
surprised by the lack of replies. Oh well.

Thanks.

 

om:


 i've seen them called Baby Belle
this place has seed for red, yellow & chocolate baby bell:

reimers has red only:

renee's garden has a pkt with red & yellow mixed:

hope that helps. it looks like they'd do well in northern short
season gardens, or at least better than regular bells.

Lee, you and Paul are truly a saints for doing the OP's leg work for
him, when you consider the only information given was "mini sweet yellow
and red peppers" (bell?), "Costco", and "Babylicious"TM (yeah, good luck
with that one). I was a little surprised by the lack of useable
information. Seems most people, when they want an identification, will
post a picture of the unknown plant, fruit, flower, leaf, or something.

In keeping with your display of kindness. Let me suggest that, if the OP  
ever gets around to googling, he may try "minature peppers, pictures",
and get responses such as

, maybe then he could identify what he is looking for.

Again, Lee, thanks to you and Paul for keeping the season's spirit.
