About
The North Star Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a productive early hybrid variety bred for northern and short-season gardens. Plants reach approximately 24 inches in height and produce good yields of blocky, 3 to 4-lobed bell peppers about 4 inches long by 3.5 inches wide. Fruits mature from deep green to bright red in 60 to 75 days and offer a sweet, mild flavor perfect for fresh use. It is resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus and adapts well to container growing or patio gardens. Its ability to set fruit under less-than-ideal conditions distinguishes it from many standard bell varieties.
Backstory
