CAST 2022: Burpee

Miniature vegetable plants took center stage this spring at CAST.


Kitchen Minis

Burpee is changing the way consumers view vegetable plants with new, compact and mature plants at retail. With the goal of making a successful harvest easier than ever, Burpee’s new varieties come with both grower and consumer support. With resources to help growers deliver fruiting plants to retailers, plants will draw customers in with nearly ready-to-harvest potted plants. And a consumer website complete with recipes helps even inexperienced gardeners find success.

Peppers from Heaven, a new basket pepper, have flexible stems that let these peppers move in the basket without breaking. Perfect for 6- to 7-inch baskets, they produce hearty harvests of fleshy peppers perfect for snacking. New for 2023, Burpee will offer Sweet Pepper Peppers from Heaven Orange, Red and Yellow.
