Healthy plant

This plant is growing nicely in my container garden. I can't wait to watch it grow and enjoy the harvest!

From JoAnn | May 08, 2024

Great little plant

Very healthy and fairly fast-growing plant! This plant produces peppers that are about 4-5” in diameter, and most have flat bottoms (great for stuffed peppers!). The yield so far has been 5 peppers, but there are many more still growing. Wish I’d bought 3 plants for a bigger crop.

Excellent

Healthy robust plants

Aristotle

Third year ordering from GrowJoy and the experience has improved each year. Although one of my pepper plants was much smaller than the other, they are both growing and doing well.

From Ronald | April 02, 2022

Prolific, pest-free, great taste

This is the best bell pepper I've ever grown. Prolific, long season, pest-free. Still producing in my raised bed in October (OK). The peppers are well shaped, crisp. firm, good raw and cooked. I will grow these again.

Aristotle Sweet Peppers

The plants arrived on the week I was promised and they look good. They were packed well and they look like they will grow well in my raised bed garden. Can’t wait to put them in the ground!

Nice Pepper Plant

Plants arrived in excellent condition. I had also ordered plants from another source and was very disappointed in their plant shipping packaging.

From William | April 12, 2019

Bell Peppers

This is the first year I ever grew these Aristotle Peppers. I never had any luck with other kinds. I was lucky if I got four or five all season. But these Aristotle bells are fantastic. Sweet, firm, thick walled,and grow profusely. I picked them yesterday and got 9 large peppers. Today I had to pick 7 more. I only have 4 plants. I am just so pleased with them. If you haven't tried them, you need to do so. .

Live Pepper Plant

Plant arrived as scheduled(last week of April) and in good health. I re-potted them in larger pots as they will not be transferred to the garden until mid to late May. So Far So Good!
