Orange Bell Sweet Bell Pepper
Growing Orange Bell Sweet Bell Pepper
‘Orange’ is a sweet bell pepper prized for its vibrant color, crisp texture, and rich fruity flavor. Large, blocky fruits develop three to four lobes with thick, juicy walls, providing excellent quality for both fresh eating and cooking.
Start ‘Orange’ indoors for transplanting and move seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and conditions are warm. Grow in full sun with consistent moisture while plants establish and begin setting fruit.
Begin harvesting once the peppers reach their mature size and develop their vivid orange color for the sweetest, richest flavor.
Sweet, crisp, and juicy, ‘Orange’ is excellent for salads, stuffing, grilling, snacking, roasting, and everyday cooking.
