Pepper: Jupiter Sweet (bell), 4 pack

The Jupiter Sweet Pepper is a warm-season annual that thrives in full sun, reliably producing abundant harvests. Reaching 3-5 feet tall, its bushy, upright growth habit and wide, dark green canopy of elongated oval leaves with pointed tips provide excellent sun protection for the developing fruit.
Each pepper, averaging 6 ounces and measuring approximately 4 inches long and wide, has a smooth, glossy, rich red skin when fully ripe. The Jupiter's standout feature is its remarkably thick walls, a characteristic that makes it perfect for cooking. 
Expect your first pick from transplanting in about 75-80 days. While this pepper thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 4-12, remember it's an annual and won't survive a frost. It is resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV), a common pepper disease that can cause stunted growth and mottled leaves. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil amended with compost or aged manure. The plants need full sun - at least 6-8 hours daily - and consistent moisture, especially during fruit development. Water deeply and regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay. Space your plants 18-24 inches apart to ensure good airflow. This adaptable variety can set fruit under varying climatic conditions, making it a reliable choice for gardeners in many different regions.
