Growing in Canada
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before your expected last frost, allowing extra time for slower seasoning peppers. Keep the seed-starting mix warm and evenly moist. Harden plants off gradually and transplant after frost into a sunny, sheltered position once nights are reliably warm. In a short season, a container in a warm spot can help you manage the crop.

Pepper seeds Canada2027 pepper seeds catalogueIs this a sweet or spicy pepper?
Capperino has a warming bite; remove the internal ribs for a gentler result and taste before adding more.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes. Use a generous container with drainage, full sun and consistent watering. Feed regularly and support the plant as fruit develops.
What is in the packet?
10+ pepper seeds for starting your own plants. This is a seed listing, not fresh peppers or live plants.
Seed note
Capperino is commonly sold as a hybrid. Seed-line and generation details for this lot are awaiting confirmation; no true-to-type seed-saving claim is made.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Germinate at 26–30 °C on a heat mat; peppers stall below 22 °C. Pot up to 10–15 cm before hardening off outside after nights stay above 12 °C.
Feed balanced through bloom, then bump potassium for fruiting. Stake taller varieties. More detail in our full Canadian growing guide.
Match the pepper to the technique: thin-walled varieties blister fast in a hot pan; thick-walled ones roast or stuff beautifully; fruit-forward ones make balanced sauces and pickles. The variety's flavour profile is your shortcut — see Choosing the right pepper for a use-case guide.
