Tawny Port F1 Sweet Pepper Seeds

Tawny Port F1, Sweet Pepper Seeds — A Rich, Jewel-Toned Bell for the Modern Garden

Named for the deep amber warmth of a fine aged port, Tawny Port F1 is a blocky bell pepper that earns its place in the garden as much for its stunning color as for its exceptional flavor. Thick-walled fruits ripen from green through a rich tawny-orange to a deep, burnished red — each stage offering its own character, from the crisp freshness of an early harvest to the concentrated sweetness of a fully ripened pod.

As an F1 hybrid, Tawny Port delivers the consistency and vigor that demanding gardeners rely on — uniform fruit size, strong disease resistance, and dependable yields season after season. Whether roasted whole, sliced into salads, or stuffed and baked, these peppers bring both beauty and substance to the table.
