What makes Orange Horizon peppers special?
Orange Horizon is an early-maturing sweet bell that ripens to a vivid orange. It offers full bell-pepper sweetness noticeably earlier than many varieties, making it great for shorter growing seasons.
Do Orange Horizon peppers have any heat?
None. These are sweet bells with thick, juicy walls and a rich, fruity sweetness when fully orange. They are excellent fresh, roasted, or added raw to salads for color.
When and how do I start the seeds?
Sow indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost, 1/4 inch deep in warm soil near 80 F. Transplant out once nights stay above 55 F.
How long until they ripen to orange?
Being early, they can be picked green around 65 days from transplant, and reach full orange color in roughly 75 to 80 days. The orange stage is the sweetest.
What spacing and sun do the plants need?
Give them full sun and space plants 18 to 24 inches apart in rows 24 to 36 inches apart. Staking helps support the plants when they carry a heavy crop.
How many seeds come in the packet and are they non-GMO?
You get about 50 seeds per packet. Orange Horizon is open-pollinated and non-GMO, so seed saved from ripe orange fruit will grow true next year.
Is it earlier than other colored bells?
Yes, Orange Horizon is selected to reach full orange color relatively early, which helps in shorter seasons.
Can I grow it in a container?
Yes, a 3–5 gallon pot in full sun works well.
