Each leaf is wider at the stem end and tapers to a pointed tip. The leaves wilt easily in dry weather. Small white quarter inch buds appear as soon as the plant's reach a height of 6-8 inches. The buds open into star-shaped, downward facing, self-pollinating white flowers with yellow stamens. The pretty flowers are quickly followed by fruit which starts out green and can mature to red, orange, yellow, purple, or even brown depending on the variety you plant.
Bell Pepper VarietiesThere are several colors and types of bell peppers you can grow in the home garden. Growing them yourself is the only way to experience the taste of a sweet bell pepper at the peak of ripeness. When allowed to fully ripen on the plant, they are sweet as apples and a delight to eat raw. If, like me, you wish to avoid chemically treated vegetables, you can grow organic bell peppers and have the peace of mind of knowing that the food you are feeding your family is clean. Here are a few bell pepper types to get your gastronomic juices flowing:
