'New Ace' Red Sweet Pepper Plants
- With its terrific taste, colourful appearance and easygoing nature, it’s no wonder that ‘New Ace’ is amongst the most popular bell pepper cultivars available today. Perfect for a sunny windowsill or patio, this is an excellent option for first-time gardeners.
- Gently sprawling and highly productive, your pepper plant will provide you with a glut of fruits throughout the summer months.
- The flavour of this variety is what really sets it apart from others, with superb sweetness and an excellent crunch. Eat them fresh as a snack, chop them into a salad or add to your next batch of fajitas.
- A worthy recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit, ‘New Ace’ has been shown to perform particularly well in British gardens. And if it’s good enough for the RHS? It’s good enough for us!
- Incredibly easy to grow and care for, your pepper plants have been painstakingly looked after at our nursery before being sent to you ready to plant outside. Once planted, you should be able to harvest your peppers seven to eight weeks later.

Meet Cameron
An experienced hand from seed to harvest
When it comes to veg plants, if Cameron doesn’t know about it? It ain’t worth knowing. They’re one of his horticultural passions and the quality of the produce he – well, produces – at the nursery is testament to that fact. Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
