Big Bertha Pepper is a compact fast growing annual that produces huge 7" sweet bell peppers with few seeds and thick walls in 70-75 days. The crisp fruits goes from glossy deep green to deep red as it ripens, with a mild sweet taste that sweetens as it matures. Best if grown in full sun and rich, moist, acidic well-drained soils.
