Description

Orange Bell is an orange-colored giant block bell pepper variety that is very productive. The fruits develop into thick-walled, juicy peppers that ripen to orange. The plant grows bushy. The plant is therefore also ideal for growing as a container plant on the balcony. This variety can also be cultivated outdoors or in a greenhouse. The peppers have a wonderfully sweet taste. Great in salads or as stuffed peppers. This bell pepper plant is also perennial if kept frost-free in winter and grows stronger every year.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
