King of the North is by excellence the sweet pepper variety for Northern gardens. This productive bell pepper variety produces an abundance of sweet peppers early making it one of the uncontested winners of ripeness in short and cool seasons. The beautiful lobed fruits have thick walls and ripen from green to a vivid red. One we certainly recommend for the Irish climate.. Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
