Patriot Hybrid

Patriot Hybrid is a United States sweet bell pepper bred for uniform, blocky fruit and reliable production.

Fruit are pendant, thick-walled bells, typically about 10–12.5 cm long and 9–11.5 cm wide. Pods ripen from green to red. Most listings describe 3–4 lobes and firm flesh suited to fresh use and stuffing.

Plants are commonly listed at 61–76.5 cm tall. Maturity is generally given as 70–80 days after transplanting, placing it in the midseason category.

Disease resistance claims vary slightly between sources. Most seed sellers list resistance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and bacterial leaf spot (BLS). Some specify BLS races 1–3, while others simply state bacterial leaf spot resistant without race detail. A few also list resistance or tolerance to Potato virus Y (PVY). The most consistently repeated resistances are TMV and BLS, though exact resistance codes are not uniformly provided in retail listings.

Public breeder documentation naming a specific breeding company or first commercial release year is limited. Most online references appear in seed catalogues from the 1990s onward. No credible sources report measurable heat, and it is consistently described as a sweet bell pepper.
