Growing Information
The Big Jim Pepper is a container-friendly plant that thrives under the full sun. From transplanting, it takes about 70-100 days to mature. The plant itself is an attractive sight with its 16-24 inch stature adorned with 24 to 40 medium-hot pods that start green and slowly mature into a bold red as they get spicier. A robust grower, Big Jim doesn't shy away from hot and dry conditions, flowering and yielding generously even in these circumstances.
'Nir’s Take'
“The Big Jim is the absolute star of non-spicy peppers to me. These are perfect for roasting, slicing, or whatever you want to do with them. They’re really large - as the name says, ‘Big Jim’, and quite the conversation piece. I’ve grown this every year since I’ve had a garden, and my parents actually come by to pick stuff from my garden, and this is the one thing that they clean me out from - every other week! Whether you’re stuffing, frying, or simply experimenting in the kitchen, there’s nothing more versatile than the Big Jim. Jump in the backyard, pick them, try something out and not worry about having to go to the supermarket or commit to purchasing so many peppers.”
Cooking & Eating Ideas
Their thick walls make Big Jim peppers ideal for stuffing and grilling. They also shine in salsas or when roasted as a side.
