Cubanelle Sweet Pepper Live Plant Starters - 4 Seedlings

Bring authentic Caribbean flavor to your garden with the Cubanelle Sweet Pepper. Also known as the "Cuban Pepper," this beloved heirloom-style variety is widely used in Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican cuisine. Known for its sweet, rich flavor and tender flesh, Cubanelle peppers are perfect for frying, roasting, stuffing, grilling, and adding to homemade sofrito.

Producing abundant 6–8 inch peppers, Cubanelle plants yield uniquely shaped fruits that are often twisted, curled, and beautifully imperfect—making every harvest one of a kind. Peppers are typically harvested when they are yellow-green for their signature sweet flavor, but can be left on the plant to mature into a vibrant orange-red color with even richer taste.
