With its easy growth, compact size, and sweet taste, Red Knight is ideal for beginner gardeners and seasoned growers alike.

• Big, Versatile Bell Peppers: Each pepper reaches about 4½ inches tall and wide, with thick walls, 3–4 lobes, and a crisp, juicy bite. Harvest green for stuffing and fresh slicing, or wait until the fruit ripens fully to red for a sweeter flavor and added nutrients. Red Knight offers flexibility for both culinary use and harvest timing, giving you multiple stages of peak eating quality from one variety.
• Fast to Mature and Heavy-Bearing: Red Knight matures in just 66 days from transplant, delivering early and reliable harvests. Its compact plants are highly productive and benefit from staking due to the sheer weight of the large fruits. Whether grown in beds, raised gardens, or containers, Red Knight provides an impressive yield with fast turnaround for home gardeners looking for a dependable performer.
• Outstanding Disease Resistance: Engineered for maximum resilience, Red Knight stands up to all races of bacterial leaf spot as well as tobacco mosaic virus and potato virus Y. This makes it a top pick for growers in humid or disease-prone regions who want to avoid spraying or prevent early crop decline. With Red Knight, your peppers stay healthy and harvest-ready throughout the season.
• Ideal for Containers and Small Spaces: With plants reaching just 2 feet tall, Red Knight is perfectly suited for container gardening on patios, balconies, or small raised beds. Its bushy yet compact habit keeps it tidy while supporting heavy fruit production. Add it to mixed vegetable plantings or ornamental edible arrangements for both color and productivity in limited space.
• Easy to Start Indoors: Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost date and transplant once the danger of frost has passed. Germinate seeds at 65–75°F and grow on at 65°F until seedlings develop two sets of true leaves. Red Knight thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and pairs well with tomatoes as a companion plant in vegetable gardens for efficient use of space and nutrients.
