Pepper, King of North Bell
Pepper, King of the North Bell (Capsicum annuum ‘King of the North’)
King of the North is a dependable heirloom bell pepper bred for early production and strong performance in cooler climates. It produces large, blocky fruits that ripen from green to bright red, offering classic sweet bell pepper flavor with reliable yields even in less-than-ideal conditions. This makes it a go-to variety for growers seeking consistency, resilience, and high-quality harvests.
Key Characteristics
Early-maturing bell pepper for cooler conditions
King of the North is known for setting and ripening fruit earlier than many bell varieties, making it especially valuable in shorter growing seasons. It performs well in cooler climates where other peppers may struggle, offering dependable production when warmth is limited.
Sweet, classic bell pepper flavor
The fruits are thick-walled, crisp, and mildly sweet, with flavor improving as they ripen to red. They are excellent for fresh eating, slicing, stuffing, and cooking, providing the versatility expected from a traditional bell pepper.
Large, blocky fruits with sturdy structure
Peppers are typically 3–4 lobed and substantial in size, with firm walls that hold up well in roasting, grilling, and stuffing. Their uniform shape also makes them well-suited for market production and consistent kitchen use.
Reliable production in diverse garden systems
Plants are compact yet productive, making them suitable for raised beds, rows, and containers. They integrate well into polycultures with other warm-season crops and benefit from full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.
- Native range: Cultivated heirloom variety
- Plant life cycle: Annual
- Sun requirements: Full sun
- Soil requirements: Medium, well-drained, fertile
- Mature height: 18–24 inches
- Bloom time: May – August

For best results, provide consistent moisture and warmth, and harvest green for earlier yields or allow fruits to fully ripen to red for maximum sweetness. This is an excellent variety for growers looking for reliable bell pepper production across a range of conditions.
