Sweet Bell Peppers - Red Beauty
The Sweet Bell Pepper Red Beauty, 'Capsicum annuum', is an early, prolific variety bearing very sweet four-lobed peppers with thick walls. The brilliant bright red extra thick-walled bells are juicy and sweet. Red Beauty peppers are widely adapted and easy to grow. They also are tobacco mosaic resistant. The peppers turn from green to red when mature. 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. ... more info
