Description

(Capsicum annuum). Beautiful, blocky 3-4 inch peppers are a lovely cream color. They have a nice mild, sweet flavor and ripen to a beautiful reddish-orange. They produce loads of fruit from early summer until frost on very compact, dwarf plants. They are very popular here at Baker Creek and used in our restaurant. This is one of the first varieties Jere read about when he first became interested in heirloom seeds.

Growing Tips: Albino Bull Nose peppers prefer full sun and well-drained, fertile soil enriched with compost or organic matter. These compact plants are excellent for smaller garden spaces or containers. Consistent moisture is important for fruit development, and mulch helps regulate soil temperature and moisture. Stake or cage if needed to support heavy fruit load. Peppers often appreciate a bit of afternoon shade during the hottest summer weather.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last spring frost. Transplant outdoors only after the soil has warmed and night temperatures are consistently above 60°F. In frost-free zones, peppers can be grown year-round. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting trays filled with moist, sterile mix. Keep soil temperatures between 75–85°F for ideal germination. Use a heat mat if necessary. Once seedlings develop two sets of true leaves, pot them up and grow under strong light until outdoor conditions are suitable.

How to Grow

Transplant into nutrient-rich, well-draining soil in full sun. Space plants 18–24 inches apart. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruit set. Fertilize monthly with an organic, balanced fertilizer. Watch for pests like aphids and manage them with neem oil or beneficial insects as needed.

How to Save Seeds

  • Choose fully ripe, creamy-yellow fruits from the healthiest plants.
  • Cut open the pepper and remove seeds.
  • Spread seeds on a screen or paper towel in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.
  • Stir daily to ensure even drying.
  • Once completely dry, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
  • Label with variety and year. Seeds remain viable for up to 4 years.

FAQ

Can I grow Albino Bull Nose peppers in a container?

Yes, Albino Bull Nose’s compact size makes it ideal for containers. Use a 3- to 5-gallon pot with good drainage and place it in a sunny spot for best fruit production.

Flower drop is often caused by stress—typically high heat, inconsistent watering, or lack of pollination. Ensure even soil moisture, avoid overhead watering, and grow in optimal temperatures to reduce stress.

What gardeners are saying

  • First to ripen: Reliably the earliest pepper in the garden.

  • Compact plants: Small plants suit containers and patio planters.

  • Heavy for its size: Loads of 3 to 4 inch fruit that ripens from ivory to orange.

  • Sweet and crisp: Mild, sweet, crisp flesh with no bitterness; great raw.

  • Heads up: Stems snap easily and loaded plants flop; cage them.
