- Lady Bell: Dependably plentiful, 'Lady Bell' produces 3-4 lobed peppers with extra thick walls that turn from a polished green to bright red at full maturity, but they're edible in either stage. Bell peppers are known for their sweet, mild flavor and this selection is definitely not an exception.
