- Transplant: Harden off gradually and plant outside after frost risk has passed and the soil has warmed.
- Choose warmth: Give peppers a sunny, sheltered position and consistent moisture in well-drained soil.
- Harvest: Let fruit reach yellow for the ripe harvest shown in the catalogue. Ripening time depends on your season.

Questions about Snow Ball Long Yellow Bell
Is it a hot pepper?
It is listed as a sweet pepper and belongs in dishes where you want pepper flavour without chilli heat.
What shape are the peppers?
The catalogue photographs show elongated yellow peppers. The name Snow Ball should not be read as a promise of round fruit.
Is it early enough for a Canadian garden?
We do not have a verified maturity estimate for this seed lot. Start indoors, provide warmth and allow time for fruit to colour; protected growing can help in short seasons.
Seed note
Plant size, fruit size and harvest timing vary with growing conditions. We do not promise a fixed fruit measurement or an early harvest for this selection.
Cook your harvest
Use your harvest in these recipes. Check the variety notes and substitutions in each recipe.
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.
