Green Bell Pepper Plant (Ozark Giant)

The Ozark Giant green bell pepper plant produces large, blocky peppers with thick walls and a crisp, sweet flavor. These vibrant green fruits are perfect for fresh eating, stuffing, or cooking—they hold their shape beautifully when roasted or sautéed. This vigorous plant grows 24–30 inches tall with sturdy stems that support heavy yields. Expect mature peppers 4–5 inches long with a glossy finish and satisfying crunch. Care is straightforward: plant in full sun (6+ hours daily) and well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Water consistently to keep soil evenly moist, not waterlogged. Feed every 2–3 weeks with a balanced fertilizer once flowering begins. Pinch early blooms to encourage stronger plant structure. Harvest peppers at green stage or allow them to mature to red for sweeter flavor. This variety thrives in warm conditions and rewards patient growers with abundant, restaurant-quality peppers throughout the season.
