Sweet Sunset Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum ‘Sweet Sunset’)

Sweet Sunset Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum ‘Sweet Sunset’) is a productive edible pepper variety known for its colourful sweet fruits and excellent container performance. The peppers mature through vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red, creating both ornamental beauty and delicious harvests throughout the summer season.

This compact pepper plant produces thick-walled sweet peppers with crisp texture and mild flavour, making them ideal for fresh snacking, salads, grilling, and cooking. Its upright bushy growth habit works especially well in patio containers, raised beds, and vegetable gardens where reliable production and decorative appeal are desired. The colourful fruits contrast beautifully against the glossy green foliage, adding ornamental value alongside edible harvests.

In Alberta, Sweet Sunset Sweet Pepper performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Warm Prairie summers encourage strong flowering and fruit production, while regular harvesting helps stimulate continued pepper development throughout the growing season.
