Description:
Orange Sun Peppers are a large bell pepper variety with great texture and flavor. The name of this pepper comes from its glowing orange and bright crimson red colors that resemble the sun, making this one of your favorite sweet peppers to grow in your garden for both aesthetic planting and for culinary uses!
The Orange Sun pepper plant is a prolific and vigorous plant that will produce heavy yields of orange peppers growing to 4 -5" long. You can harvest at both stages to boost production and give your meals some colors, but we recommend waiting until they are orange for their sweeter flavors! The 4-lobed pepper will ripen from green to a vibrant, striking golden-orange color that looks just like the sun.
Unlike the Big Sun Habanero, this pepper has zero heat and and amazingly sweet taste. With its meaty thick walls, the Orange Sun bell pepper is ideal for grilling, sautéing, and stuffing, and it will look sensational in salads and sandwiches. Don’t miss out on the Orange Sun because this is such a pretty pepper plant with stunning peppers that you’ll love displaying on the patio!
