Goliath Sweet Pepper Plants bear large-sized, 4-lobed fruits, growing up to 7 1/2-inches long, up to 4-inches in diameter and maturing from pale yellowy-green to bright, luscious red. Having exceptional flavor, these sweet peppers are ideal for adding to salads, topping pizzas, grilling or just munching right out of the garden. Having more vitamin C than an orange, this hybrid bell pepper is also resistant to three races of bacterial spot disease, that dreaded blight that can ruin a pepper crop!

Growing strong

The veggies are always well rooted and grow well very happy

From Ryan | August 13, 2024


Not so goliath

The plants were in great condition as always upon receipt. However, the production of fruit has been slow and definitely not what I’d consider "Goliath”. I may have received a different pepper in error.

Goliath seedlings

Goliath seedlings (6) arrived strong and healthy. Dark green leaves, strong stems, rooted well into soil. Best packaging! Bit disappointed only one seedling was ‘full size’ and four others were medium to small. The sixth seedling was tiny and based on 50 years growing and Master Gardener experience I doubt the tiny seedling will reach full productive size. Pic sent separate.
