Growing Non-GMO Tender Bell F1 Sweet Pepper Vegetable Seeds

Start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before the last frost and plant outdoors in late spring. Harden off the seedlings, then transplant them once they have a sizeable root system. See our free PDF vegetable growing guide for more information on hardening off and growing peppers. Follow cultivation practices similar to all pepper plants. Fertilize when needed. Provide deep and infrequent, but regular waterings. If the leaves begin to wilt, add additional water.

Weed the area around the plants to avoid competition. Optionally, plant a ground cover over the bare soil to decrease weeds and retain soil moisture. To promote fruit yield, prune off select unnecessary leaves as the plant matures. These can be foliage at the bottom of the plant that no longer receives sunlight or growth that begins to appear between two main branches. Pruning forces the plant to focus on fruit production instead of foliage production.

Harvesting Tender Bell F1 Sweet Pepper

The beautiful and delicate white flowers of sweet bell peppers do not need to be pollinated in order to produce fruits.
