Annual0-100 SHU. The pimento pepper is a sweet, mild variety of Capsicum annuum. Recognizable by its heart-shaped, vibrant red fruits, the pimento pepper typically measures 3-4 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Its thick, juicy flesh is exceptionally sweet and aromatic, making it perfect for a variety of culinary uses, including fresh eating, stuffing, roasting, and canning.
My Mom used to grow these, always tasted fantastic. Looking forward to having some again!
Grew these thinking they were good for making paprika. Turns out, They are so sweet and almost like eating candy, I prefer them on salads, by themselves and never dried any, but you do get quite a few peppers from a plant. They certainly do need fertilized, a fertilizer that has about 5 or 6 on the P and K maybe a 3 on the N. Too much nitrogen seems to grow vegetative growth but fewer peppers.
Tried this as something new. It grew well (in SE TEXAS Zone 8b) under harsh conditions of high humidity & heat (regularly 96F or more). Unfortunately I didn't enjoy eating it. So used it as a seasoning when cooking. But I do recommend if you like these types of thick walled peppers for stuffing. They never got bigger than 2.5 inches in my climate.
One of my favorite peppers, VERY prolific!!
Had a wonderful harvest this year with these seeds.

I wasn't sure it would survive when I planted it, but it is growing. Very happy with my purchase
I immediately set this plant outside to begin hardening off. After about 2 weeks, I planted it in it's dedicated grow bag until I get a more permanent planter, and I must say it is living life. It has grown so much since I received it. I believe I'm going to remove the blossoms this year to continue promoting healthy growth.
Love this. I collect stickers on my garden notebook for fun and inspiration and this spoke to me.
Very good seed potatoes, growing well
Plants arrived in great condition. One plant did not take and ended up dying. We ordered 10 bare root plants, but actually got 1 extra so even after one failed, we still ended up with 10 great looking plants.
