The Sweet Bell Pepper Sun Bell, 'Capsicum annuum', is a very sweet, four-lobed pepper that grows 4 to 5 inches long and 4 inches wide and weighs 4 to 6 ounces. This beautiful pepper starts out a beautiful golden yellow before becoming bright at full maturity. The large fruits are exceptionally sweet at all stages of growth. They are excellent for salads, stuffing, and gourmet dishes.Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. Note: To get a jump on the season transplant outside, use a walls-of-water or some black plastic to maintain and increase temperatures. Pinch off early flowers to encourage plant growth. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. Blossom pruning will improve fruit size. Pinch off about 50% of the flowers.
