The detail
You can choose from a carefully curated selection of sweet pepper varieties, including Red King, Liberty Belle, Astor, and Thor. Each produces large, glossy fruits with thick, juicy walls and a naturally sweet flavour, ranging from classic deep red to bright golden-yellow and elongated conical forms. The plants form compact, bushy structures that crop heavily throughout the season, delivering dependable harvests without heat or spice. With their attractive foliage and vibrant fruits, these peppers perform equally well as productive edibles and decorative container plants.
All plants are supplied as strong, well-established 10.5 cm rootballs, professionally grown in premium peat-free compost at our UK nursery in Yorkshire. Larger and more robust than young starter plants, they establish quickly after planting and begin producing confidently once settled. Plants are dispatched in plastic-free, recyclable packaging, supporting our commitment to sustainable growing and responsible delivery while ensuring plants arrive fresh and well protected.
