Early red-ripening sweet peppers?

nativeplanter · January 31, 2013

I don't much care for green peppers - they taste too grassy for me. But I really like red peppers, both fresh and roasted. I'd especially like to try roasting and canning sweet red peppers this coming year. Unfortunately, many of the seed companies only give one date for "days to maturity", and I think it is for the green stage. The length of time between green and red feels like an eternity, and it seems like it varies by variety such that one can't just go by the green date. Does anyone know of a variety that would be good for roasting that ripens to red earlier than others?
