This pepper thrives on high moisture availability and repays your attention with prolific fruit set. The relatively quick 70-day maturity window means you can enjoy harvests even in shorter growing seasons. Peppers develop their peak flavor and vitamin content when they've fully colored, whether red, yellow, purple, or orange, making patience in the garden worthwhile.
Double Up Bell Pepper is grown for fresh kitchen use as a sweet pepper. The edible fruits work equally well raw in salads and slaws, roasted whole, or stuffed and baked. Their sweet bell pepper character makes them versatile for almost any dish calling for fresh peppers, and the high nutritional profile of mature, fully colored peppers makes them particularly valuable for health-conscious cooking.

Peppers are fully ripe and contain maximum flavor and vitamins when they've transitioned from green to their final color: red, yellow, purple, or orange. Begin harvesting as soon as peppers reach full size and have begun their color change. Harvest by cutting the fruit from the plant with a knife or pruners rather than pulling, which can damage the branch.
