Prolific, Reliable, and Vibrant Red Peppers

 The 'Red King' is a celebrated, high-yielding sweet pepper variety from the Capsicum annuum family, prized for its ability to produce a generous harvest of crisp, vibrant red fruits. This compact, disease-resistant plant is an excellent choice for any home grower, whether you are tending a kitchen garden, allotment, patio, balcony, or raised bed. It thrives equally well in a greenhouse as it does outdoors in a warm, sheltered spot during the summer.

Supplied as an established live plant in a 2-litre pot, the 'Red King' is garden-ready, allowing you to bypass the challenges of seed sowing and transplant straight into your final growing container or bed. Whether you enjoy your peppers raw in salads, stuffed, roasted, or cooked in your favourite dishes, this reliable variety ensures an abundant supply of juicy, flavourful fruit throughout the season.
