Why grow it?
Grow it for a sweet pepper that holds its place on the plate. The squat pods make appealing individual portions and the ripe flesh lends itself to roasting.

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?
This is a sweet pepper grown for flavour rather than heat.
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
This listing is for Round of Hungary. It is kept separate from Hungarian Cheese Stuffing Pepper until the seed source confirms whether the lots are identical.
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.
