Orange Bell Sweet Pepper, Heirloom Seeds

Orange Bell, Sweet Pepper Seeds — The Sunny Heirloom Bell With Tropical Sweetness

If red bells are the classic and green bells are the workhorse, orange bells are the revelation. This heirloom Coral Orange bell pepper produces large, blocky fruits that ripen from green through a warm, glowing orange — a color that looks like a late-summer sunset and tastes even better. Fully ripe orange bells are noticeably sweeter and more complex than their green counterparts, with a fruity, almost tropical quality that makes them exceptional eaten raw, roasted, or blended into sauces.

Thick-walled and prolific, Orange Bell is a reliable heirloom that delivers generous yields of beautiful, flavorful fruits through the season — and as an open-pollinated variety, it rewards seed savers with true-to-type plants year after year.
