- Sweet flavored with a crisp, crunchy texture

- 3-4 lobed fruits have medium-thick walls
- Dependable producer, even in cooler weather
One of our top picks for Northern gardens, Lady Bell Hybrid Sweet Pepper sets and produces fruits even during cooler summer weather. When we grew these at our trial farm during an unusually cool summer, each plant produced up to eight rich green fruits that ripened to a bright red. The 3 to 5-in. fruits are sweetly flavored with just a hint of spiciness and have a crisp, crunchy texture. Their medium-thick walls make them ideal for eating fresh. This hybrid pepper has been a consistent performer in the Northeast.
