Orange Sun bells ripen to a glowing tangerine orange, with thick, juicy walls and a crisp bite that’s all sweetness and no bite. The flavor is mellow, fruity, and full, perfect for stuffing, slicing into salads, piling onto platters, or roasting until the edges caramelize. Sturdy, productive plants load up with blocky, uniform fruits that color up beautifully, so you get plenty for fresh eating and extras to grill, freeze, or can. Like all fully ripe bells, Orange Sun is rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene—best when you let the fruits turn fully orange for maximum flavor and nutrition.

How to Grow

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
