Better Belle II Pepper is a compact fast growing annual that produces peppers in 75 days. The juicy thick walled vegetables can be be picked while still green to produce more food or wait to ripen to shiny red on the plant for better flavor. Best if grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well-drained soils. Excellent disease resistance but heat tolerant.
