I'm probably giving this one only an average rating more on it's name - which is deceptive. It's not really big. The description of it having 4.5 inch peppers is not true for me - they are only about 3. The plants are small, and the yield OK. I grew several other bells, and they were all larger - without 'big' in the name, and they all out-produced this one.
