The Orange King Bell Peppers grow on a sturdy compact plant that grows upright on a solid bush type habit that can reach as tall as 45-61 cm (18-24") in height with a spread that reaches 40-45 cm (14-18”) wide. We provide additional support for most of our pepper plants, especially if they are prolific producers like the Orange King Bell. Plant produces heavy yields of peppers that are 10 cm (4”) long by 9 cm (3½”) wide. Peppers are blocky, with 3-4 lobes, thick walled and sweet. These peppers turn from green to a brilliant orange when mature.
