Description

Capsicum ‘Giant Bell’ is a popular variety. It is a vigorous grower, which may need staking. Large, bell-shaped, glossy-green fruit matures to red. The fruit can be eaten at the green stage but is sweeter and more mild when mature.
Capsicums are a perennial plant in frost-free areas but will produce less fruit in subsequent years. They are usually grown as annuals in western Sydney. Capsicums can be overwintered in a warm, sheltered spot such as a greenhouse, in front of a north-facing wall or on a sunny, north-facing verandah or balcony.
Viable seeds can only be collected from mature fruit. Leave the fruit on the plant, where possible, until It has matured being being edible. However, seed can most easily be collected from mature fruit while preparing food for eating.
