***Wild West Organics Sweet Red Bell Pepper*** Bell Peppers originated in Mexico, Central America, and South America and they were said to be named by Christoper Columbus. It was he who took a wide variety of peppers back to Europe around the 16th century where they became very popular. The 'Sweet Red Bell' pepper seeds were hand harvested from my organically grown and carefully nurtured red bell pepper plants. They are located in my sunny Arizona garden plot that generally receive dry, warm to very hot daytime temperatures and cool to warm nighttime temperatures.The average annual temperature is 70.9 F. Sweet red bell pepper plants love sunlight and can grow 3 to 4 feet in height (36-48 inches) when raised in a garden, and about 1.5 to 2 feet in height (18-24 inches) when grown in a suitable container like a 5 gallon one. They actually grow best in the garden where their roots have room to spread out. Tie the bell pepper plant stems to a stake for support and to prevent them from bending or breaking off. These seeds produce vibrant red fruits when ripe that average about 4 to 5 inches long.and 3 to 4 inches wide and have a plump, bell- shape appearance. Sweet red bell peppers appear dark green when they are immature and then ripen to a vibrant red. Favorable growing conditions produce yields of up to 20 deliciously sweet fruits per plant. It has been noted that red bell peppers have 4 times the amount of Vitamin C than oranges! ~Pepper Notes~ Seed Varietal: Capsicum annum Name: Sweet Red Bell Pepper Growing method: Organic (Non-GMO) Harvest Location: Sunny Arizona Harvest Method: Hand-picked Harvest Date:05/2025 Heat Scale:0 Scoville units (bland) Growing period: 80 to 100 days depending on the growing region and climate.
