25 Aji Mango Pepper Seeds – Sweet Fruity Mild Heat Heirloom Non-GMO Capsicum baccatum

Aji Mango Pepper is a distinctive heirloom variety of Capsicum baccatum prized for its sweet, fruity flavor and mild heat. The elongated, wrinkled peppers ripen from green to a vibrant golden-orange, resembling a mango in color. With their tropical fruitiness and gentle warmth, these peppers are perfect for fresh salsas, salads, and mild hot sauces. The vigorous plants are prolific producers, adding both ornamental beauty and culinary value to the garden.

Whether you grow them in a vegetable bed or a container, Aji Mango peppers are a rewarding choice for gardeners seeking a unique, flavorful pepper with just a hint of spice. Their mild heat level (typically 1,000–2,000 Scoville units) makes them accessible to those who prefer less pungent peppers, while their complex sweetness appeals to discerning palates.

Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth (75-85°F) for reliable germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Aji Mango peppers benefit from staking or caging as they can become heavy with fruit. Harvest peppers when they reach full color and size for the sweetest flavor.
