Orange Blaze (65 to 70 days) The brightest bell on the block is Orange Blaze Hybrid, a crunchy-sweet pepper with early maturity, great disease resistance, and delectable flavor. Awarded an All-America Selection (AAS) for 2011, it is your best choice for fresh peppers all season long! They can be picked green if need be, but their best flavor and most vitamins occur in the final days of ripening, when the peppers abruptly turn from deep green to bright orange.
