Description

Bright, crisp, and early. Sweet Diamond Bell delivers classic bell flavor in a faster, compact package—zero heat (0 SHU)—with clean sweetness at green stage and fuller, fruity notes as it ripens to scarlet. Bred for reliability in shorter seasons and cooler nights, it sets steadily where other bells stall.

Plants are tidy yet vigorous, typically 18–24 inches tall with a branching, upright habit that fits beds or containers. Dark foliage frames clusters of blocky, 3–4-lobed bells about 3–4 inches wide with thick, juicy walls and smooth shoulders. Fruit mature from glossy green to bright red, often earlier than standard bells, giving you a long picking window.

In the kitchen, Sweet Diamond is your weeknight workhorse: fresh for salads and snack trays, stuffed (walls hold their shape), and roasted or grilled for sandwiches and pastas. It blisters and peels cleanly for roasted-pepper strips and makes standout sheet-pan sides when quartered. Diced, it freezes well without turning watery.

Selected for dependable performance, Sweet Diamond Bell rewards steady moisture and full sun with uniform fruit set. Harvest green for yield and crunch or let clusters color for maximum sweetness and vitamins. A strong choice for gardeners seeking early bells with market-ready looks and flavor.
