Hi. Can anybody give me a variety name for the mini sweet
yellow and red peppers that the supermarkets have in their
veggie platters? I bought a bag at Costco today and I thought
I would grow some next summer. I haven't found anything that
looks like it online or in my catalogs. I just noticed the
bag says "Babylicious"TM in fine print. I'll have to Google
that and see what I find.


i've seen them called Baby Belle
this place has seed for red, yellow & chocolate baby bell:

reimers has red only:

renee's garden has a pkt with red & yellow mixed:

hope that helps. it looks like they'd do well in northern short
season gardens, or at least better than regular bells.

Lee, you and Paul are truly a saints for doing the OP's leg work for
him, when you consider the only information given was "mini sweet yellow
and red peppers" (bell?), "Costco", and "Babylicious"TM (yeah, good luck
with that one). I was a little surprised by the lack of useable
information. Seems most people, when they want an identification, will
post a picture of the unknown plant, fruit, flower, leaf, or something.

In keeping with your display of kindness. Let me suggest that, if the OP
ever gets around to googling, he may try "minature peppers, pictures",
and get responses such as

, maybe then he could identify what he is looking for.

Again, Lee, thanks to you and Paul for keeping the season's spirit.
