CAPSICUM annuum 'Early Bell'( Grossum Group)
Bell Pepper, Sweet Pepper
For those in a hurry, 'Early Bell' will mature in just 55 to 60 days compared to the typical 70 plus for standard bell pepper varieties. The blocky sweet peppers turn from green to red. this is an older early pepper variety that's becoming less and less available in commerce.
Peppers are bushy plants with rigid, brittle stems and thin, often broad, dark green leaves. Their flowers are inconspicuous, five-petaled and white. Peppers have firm, fleshy, hollow fruits that may be harvested green for a sharper taste or allowed to mature to red for sweeter flavor.
Bell peppers are warm season vegetables that are easy to grow, if you can provide them with full sun, warmth, fertile, perfectly drained soil and regular feeding. This variety is tolerant of tobacco mosaic virus.
