Greenhouse or Open Field? Matching the Variety to the System

A variety that shines in a greenhouse is not always the best choice outdoors, and the other way around.

Greenhouse varieties are typically bred for vigor, long production cycles and consistent fruit under controlled conditions, while open field varieties lean on disease tolerance and the ability to cope with weather swings. Many of our peppers, cucumbers and eggplants are suited to both, and each product page notes where a variety performs best.
