Orange Bell Pepper – 20 Seeds

Quite possibly the sweetest of all bell peppers, orange bell peppers are a flavorful favorite in the garden and the kitchen. Known for their vibrant color and crisp, juicy crunch, these peppers thrive in Florida’s long, warm growing season and make a beautiful, productive addition to any garden.

🌱 Growing Tips:

• Start Indoors: For best results, start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date.
• Germination: Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days with warmth (75–85°F) and consistent moisture.
• Transplanting: Once seedlings are 4–6 inches tall and nighttime temperatures stay above 55°F, transplant them into full sun.
• Spacing: Space plants about 18–24 inches apart in rows that are 24–36 inches apart.
• Soil Needs: Peppers prefer well-drained, fertile soil with good organic matter. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy.

🌿 Florida-Friendly Note:

Orange bell peppers grow especially well in Florida’s heat and humidity. In South and Central Florida, they can even be grown in fall and early winter.

🌸 Companion Plants:

Peppers grow well alongside basil, carrots, onions, spinach, and marigolds. Avoid planting near fennel or kohlrabi, which may compete for nutrients.
