Capsicum annuum Mighty Veggie ‘Red Bell’/’King Arthur’
Mighty Veggie grafted peppers produce 2-3 times (or more!) fruit than ungrafted plants and are more cold tolerant and disease resistant.
‘Red Bell’/’King Arthur’ is an early ripening, large, red bell pepper. Big, blocky 4.5 inch bells have thick, meaty walls with sweet flavour and crunchiness, whether harvested green or red. Harvest in 60 days green; 75 days red. 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. Mighty Veggie grafted plants usually produce 2-3 times more fruit than ungrafted plants, a difference that is especially large for heirloom varieties which do not always offer high yields.
