The Tawny Port is a sweet pepper variety grown in the United States, named for its distinctive mature colour resembling tawny port wine. It is cultivated for its rich colouring and suitability for fresh culinary use.
Pods are medium-sized, typically conical to slightly elongated, and ripen from green to a deep brownish-red or tawny shade. The fruits have relatively thick walls, making them suitable for fresh eating, roasting, and cooking.
Flavour is mild and sweet with no heat (0 SHU), placing it firmly in the Sweet category. The flesh is crisp when fresh and develops a rich, smooth character when cooked.
Plants are productive and perform well in warm growing conditions, producing a steady yield of uniquely coloured fruits over the season. They are suitable for both container growing and open-ground cultivation.
This variety is noted for its distinctive colour rather than a documented breeding history. Detailed breeder information is not widely recorded in recognised sources.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
