Pepper MexiBell F1
MexiBell looks like a sweet pepper, but it’s not. This bell pepper has an entirely new flavor – pungent. It combines a 3 to 4 lobed blocky bell fruit shape with the flavor similar to an Anaheim pepper. If desired, you can control the heat by cutting out the entire seed core, removing all seeds and white ribs. The productive 24-inch MexiBell plants are tolerant of Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Foliage provides an excellent canopy over the peppers that can be harvested in 120 days from seed when mature green or at 140 days to red.
