Grow your own sweet, crunchy peppers with our Bell Pepper Plants (Capsicum annuum). Perfect for greenhouses, sunny patios and sheltered garden positions, these productive vegetable plants produce delicious peppers that can be enjoyed fresh, roasted, grilled or added to salads, stir-fries and homemade sauces.
Choose from Bell Boy, Golden Star, Bright Star or Mixed, giving you a choice of popular varieties for your home vegetable garden. Plants are available in either 9cm or 1 litre pots.
Bell peppers love warmth, so plant your Capsicum annuum in a sunny, sheltered position with fertile, well-drained soil or compost. Water regularly and begin feeding once flowers and fruits start to develop.

Watering Keep the soil consistently moist while the crop is establishing and growing, especially during flowering, fruiting or rapid leafy growth. Water deeply at the base rather than little and often, allowing excess water to drain away. Plants in containers, grow bags or greenhouses may need daily checks during warm weather.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in multi-purpose compost, enriched with organic matter where appropriate. Choose an open position with good airflow and enough space for the crop to mature without excessive competition. Protect tender crops from late frost and cold winds, and use greenhouse or sheltered growing conditions where the variety requires extra warmth.
