Description

(Capsicum annuum). Big, juicy, canary yellow bells bred in Siberia are excellent for northern gardens! A midseason pepper that bears loads of large, half pound peppers atop stocky, 20- to 24-inch tall plants. This exceptionally sweet pepper is top for snacking or cooking; the walls are at least 1/4 inch thick! Phenomenal flavor and very reliable.

Growing Tips: Goldenmane Lion sweet peppers thrive in well-drained soil enriched with compost or aged manure. These heat-loving plants require consistent watering and full sun to produce abundant, glossy golden fruits with a crisp, sweet flavor. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer can boost fruit production and plant health. 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 expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the soil has warmed and nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F. In warmer, long season climates, direct sowing is possible after the last frost. 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 sterile seed-starting mix. Keep the soil moist and warm, ideally between 75–85°F, using a heat mat if needed. Once seedlings emerge and grow their first true leaves, transplant them into larger pots. Harden off young plants before transplanting into the garden.

How to Grow

Plant in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart. Water consistently, especially during fruit set, but avoid waterlogging. Use stakes or cages if needed to support heavily fruiting branches. Harvest when fruits are fully colored and firm, about 90–100 days from transplant.

How to Save Seeds

  • Choose fully ripe, deep golden fruits from healthy, true-to-type 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 3-5 years.
