Orion is an F1 bell pepper from Enza Zaden bred for open-field production. The fruit is large, smooth and blocky with four lobes and thick walls, roughly 90 to 95 mm, going from green to red. Plants are compact with excellent leaf cover, which helps protect the fruit from sunscald. Green peppers come at around 65 days from transplanting and red ripe at about 85. It carries resistance to races 1, 2, 3 and 5 of bacterial leaf spot as well as tobacco mosaic virus, a useful package in humid gardens where leaf spot is a recurring problem.
