Overview
Frank's is an early sweet pepper worth knowing if your summers are short. The plants stay compact, and they carry medium-sized, elongated bell-shaped fruit that color up to red quickly rather than hanging green for weeks. With roughly 56 days from transplant to the first pickable fruit, it fits northern gardens and containers where space and season are both limited. Give it full sun and steady water, and pick often to keep new fruit coming.
