Red Bell Pepper Plant (Chinese Giant)

The Chinese Giant red bell pepper plant produces large, vibrant crimson fruits with thick, juicy walls and a sweet, mild flavor. These peppers are perfect for fresh eating, roasting, or stuffing. The plant grows to a substantial size with lush green foliage and develops multiple fruits throughout the season. Care is straightforward: plant in full sun with well-draining soil and consistent moisture. Space plants 18–24 inches apart to allow good air circulation. Water regularly, especially during fruiting, and fertilize every 2–3 weeks with a balanced or slightly phosphorus-rich formula to encourage flowering and fruit development. Pinch off early flowers if desired to promote bushier growth. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and deep red color for maximum sweetness. These plants thrive in warm conditions and typically produce abundantly from mid-summer through fall.
