Overview
King Arthur is an early Petoseed hybrid bell on a dwarf plant, giving square, 3- or 4-lobed fruit around 5 inches that ripen green to red in about 59 days. A key trait is that it keeps setting fruit in hot weather, when many bells drop their blossoms. The resistance package is broad: bacterial leaf spot, potato virus Y, tobacco etch virus and tobacco mosaic virus. The compact plant fits well in containers and tight beds.
