Description

Juicy, sun-sweet flavor with a vibrant glow. Orange Sun is the classic orange bell pepper prized for its crisp bite, low-acid sweetness, and citrusy aroma that shines raw or roasted. Think bell pepper comfort turned radiant—perfect for salads, sheet-pan dinners, stuffed peppers, and snack platters that pop with color.

The plants are sturdy and prolific, typically 2 to 3 feet tall with a well-branched, compact habit that sets heavy clusters of blocky fruit. Deep green foliage frames large, three- to four-lobed pods that average 3½ to 5 inches. They mature from glossy green to a saturated tangerine orange that signals peak sugar and perfume. Thick, meaty walls blister and peel beautifully over flame, hold shape when stuffed, and keep a satisfying crunch for raw snacking and pickling.

Bite into a fully colored pod and bright garden sweetness arrives first, followed by a smooth, mellow finish with hints of orange blossom. In the kitchen, Orange Sun is a natural for crudités, fajitas, kebabs, and oven roasts; charred and peeled, it purées into a silky, golden-orange sauce or soup; dried at peak color and ground, it yields a sweet, sunrise-hued powder that lifts rubs, eggs, and roasted vegetables. Selected for dependable yields, uniform shape, and exceptional flavor, this cheerful Capsicum annuum brings armfuls of showpiece color and everyday versatility to any garden or patio.
