Reliable, high-yielding sweet pepper plants bred for strong growth, early cropping and richly flavoured fruits—perfect for containers, greenhouses, raised beds and warm patio growing.
Sweet Pepper ‘Redskin’ (Capsicum annuum) is a compact, productive variety known for its ability to deliver large, thick-walled red peppers with a crisp texture and naturally sweet, full-bodied flavour. These high-yielding plants produce consistent crops of vibrant fruits that ripen from green to glossy red, offering excellent versatility for fresh eating, roasting, stuffing and cooking. Growing to around 45–60 cm tall, they form sturdy, bushy plants ideal for smaller growing spaces while still producing impressive yields throughout the season.
Our sweet pepper plants are professionally grown in high-quality peat-free compost and freshly delivered directly from our UK nursery in Yorkshire, in plastic-free, giftable packaging. Supplied as strong, well-established 10.5 cm plants, they feature vigorous root systems and sturdy stems, ensuring rapid establishment, improved resilience and earlier, more reliable fruiting compared to seed-grown plants.
