Minimum 15 seeds per package.
A variety native to Ukraine, 'Lesya' was an absolute knockout for us in 2022, hanging heavy with thick walled, sweet, fruits perfect for roasting or eating raw. The shape is adorable: plump and round with a protruded, pointy blossom end. Look up this variety online and you will find a myriad of claims that it is "the sweetest pepper in the world". We won't make that claim (I'm not sure why people feel the need to, as they create unrealistic expectations) but make no doubt, Lesya is a very sweet and delicious pepper. It isquite remarkable in its productivity and we recommend staking to provide support. Originally developed and released by the Bilous family from the village of Prysluch (about halfway between Kyiv and Lviv in western Ukraine).

Lesya ' The Sweetest Pepper in the World'
Minimum 15 seeds per package.
The fruit is about 3 inches—almost the size of a peach—with a yellow rind and fruity-tasting white flesh. They start out green and then turn yellow as they ripen.
You can spot a perfectly ripe melon in the same way you would a mango. It should feel heavier than it looks and have a slightly sweet aroma. Press gently on the end furthest from the stem—this should be slightly soft. Most of mine pulled away from the vine very easily.
