Golden Bell Sweet Pepper Plant Care
Plant Golden Bell Sweet Pepper Plant outdoors after the last threat of frost and when soil temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant it in fertile, well-drained soil in a full sun location. Add compost to the planting hole to provide young starts with added nutrition at the start. As the plant grows, it will benefit from a trellis or support; this can be added at the time of planting. Harvest fruit when mature to promote new growth and flowering.
Growing Golden Bell Sweet Pepper Plant
Golden Bell Sweet Pepper Plants take 65 - 72 days to mature from seed. They prefer full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light a day. Plants will reach 18 - 24 inches in height and 10 - 12 inches wide. If planting multiple peppers or other plants, allow 12 - 18 inches of space between plants. Seeds can be started indoors 6 weeks prior to the last frost date. Golden Bell Sweet Pepper plants do best outdoors and should not be grown indoors.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
