Overview
King of the North is a non-hybrid bell intended for cold, short-season gardens where ordinary bells never ripen. Fruit is about 6 by 4 inches, 3 lobed, with walls thick enough for stuffing, ready around 65 days and sweetening as it turns red. The variety germinates and grows at lower temperatures than most bells, so northern gardeners can get a real harvest before frost. Start seed indoors at 75 to 80F and set out after the last frost; in hot climates it also works as a fall crop. Seed saving is easy since it comes true.
