Overview
Margarets is an open-pollinated sweet pepper of Hungarian origin that gives a long show of color. The thick-walled fruit reach about 7 inches, start green and pass through orange and bright red before finishing a deep burgundy if you leave them on the plant. It matures early for a pepper this size, with the first green fruit around 62 days from transplant. Grow it in full sun with even moisture and stake plants that carry a heavy load.
