What do sweet peppers need to grow?
Like most garden plants, sweet peppers prefer loamy soil that's rich in organic material and has a neutral pH. They also crave plenty of sun and regular watering. If you grow sweet peppers in containers (and they're a good veggie for that), your potting mix should contain ample amounts of organic material.
Are sweet cherry peppers good for you?

When should I plant cherry pepper seeds?

Will peppers grow back every year?
Peppers of all types are grown as annuals by most gardeners: sown, grown, picked, then condemned to the compost heap at the end of the season. Yet these hard-working plants are perennials that, given the right conditions, will happily overwinter to next year.
How often do you water cherry peppers?
Water immediately after planting, then regularly throughout the season. Aim for a total of 1-2 inches per week (more when it's hotter). Mix a continuous-release fertilizer into the soil at planting and replenish as directed during the growing season.

What does sweet cherry peppers taste like?
What Do They Taste Like? Like most capsicums, the cherry pepper is crisp with sweet, watery flesh. The heat can vary from not spicy at all to a mild burn that won't reach above 5,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHUs)—less than a jalapeno or cayenne pepper.
Can you eat the seeds of sweet cherry peppers?
No, pepper seeds are not toxic but you may still want to remove them before eating. Pepper seeds are slightly bitter, but not so bitter that they will ruin a dish in most cases; however, you may want to remove them if you are using a large number of peppers.
