Mighty Veggie grafted peppers produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
Sweet, colourful and easy-to-grow, ‘Orange Bell’ is also a great source of antioxidants. These bell peppers can be picked green at 50 days or allowed to ripen to a sweet, deep-orange in 78 days. Mighty Veggies grafted vegetables are hand grafted onto super strong rootstock which provides greater disease resistance, greater cold tolerance (so veggies start growing faster in the spring), and great yield.
