Unlike hot peppers, these thick-walled bells are completely sweet with a mild, rich flavor that is delicious fresh in salads, stuffed, grilled, or roasted. The unique brown coloring isn't just beautiful—it also signals full ripeness and makes this variety stand out in the garden, at farmers markets, and on the dinner table. Productive plants continue producing throughout the season, making Chocolate Beauty an excellent choice for home gardeners looking to grow something both delicious and unique. Easy to grow in raised beds, containers, or traditional gardens, these peppers thrive in full sun and reward you with an abundant harvest of flavorful, colorful fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are slow to germinate and slow to start growing to transplant size. I recommend to start seeds in pots\/trays with a heat mat to speed up germination. Then start fertilizing weekly with half strength fertilizer once the first set of true leaves appear. Peppers are similar to tomatoes in that they like plenty of water and are heavy feeders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeppers are perennial plants and can produce for several years if taken care of. In cold climates trim off all the leaves and bring in doors in a pot to over winter. Place back out doors once temperatures are nice and warm. In mild climates, pepper plants can be left out doors and might need to be covered on the coldest nights. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLANTING\u003cbr\u003eGermination: 10-14 days\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGermination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures are 75-85ºF\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed Sowing Depth: 1\/4” deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSowing: I highly recommended to start seeds in pots\/trays as described above. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvest: Peppers can be harvested at the green stage all the way up to being fully gold or red.
