Description:
The Orange You Sweet F1 Pepper is an exceptional pepper to grow in general gardening, greenhouse, and container growing, and can be an alternative to growing traditional orange bell peppers. This is a hybrid in its first generation and is improved to grow continuous sets of flat, round sweet peppers.
These compact pepper plants stretch up to a whopping 2 ft. tall and produce great yields of these small, 2" long bell peppers. This is an early maturing pepper plant with strong branches to hold plenty of peppers, so expect to harvest these pods within 60-70 days from transplanting. Ripening from dark green to deep orange, it will taste slightly grassy during its green stage, but sugar content will build as they continue to turn bright orange.
Sweet is the key descriptor in the Orange You Sweet pepper, as this orange pepper delivers delicious sweetness. The Orange You Sweet peppers will develop smooth skins with thick walls that are perfect for stuffing, pickling, and roasting, or to use for salsas, pasta sauce, and eating fresh!
