Notes

'Orange Sun' pepper (Capsicum annuum 'Orange Sun') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun. It is grown for big, blocky orange bell peppers that measure 4 to 5 inches. The thick, meaty walls taste sweet and crunchy, and the fruit is ready in about 80 days.

Pairs well with Sungold tomato, Eight Ball squash, and Prostratus rosemary.
