Description
Finally! An orange bell pepper that ripens in the PNW. It only took us 13 years to find one that checked the boxes for reliability, productivity, AND flavor. In 2024, Doe Hill won our bell pepper variety trial thanks to the impressive number of 3″ crunchy, juicy, sweet, thick-walled fruits dangling from these sturdy plants. This 19th century Appalachian heirloom came to us via our pals at Uprising Seeds and is a customer favorite for appetizer plates, stir-fry and fajitas.
