Pepper - Bell - Ori
The Pepper Bell Ori, 'Capsicum annuum (Hybrid)', will set fruit in adverse weather conditions and that makes it an easy to grow garden variety. Ori produces a large number of thick-walled, big, bright yellow peppers under adverse conditions. The Ori turns directly from green to a bright yellow. The peppers are large, well-lobed, and semi-long. Pepper seeds need very warm soil temperatures to germinate. 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 information
