Overview
Ariane is an F1 sweet bell from Enza Zaden that finishes a rich persimmon-orange. The fruit is blocky, about 4 to 5 inches long and nearly as wide, with thick flesh; it starts medium green and colors up to orange as it ripens. The plant itself is short and quick to develop, making this one of the earlier orange bells, with green fruit possible around 65 days after transplanting. It resists tobacco mosaic virus race 0. The compact habit suits smaller beds or large containers, and the orange stage is where the sweetness and color really shine, so leave a few fruits to finish.
