Description

Low to medium-high growing block bell pepper with dark green, thick-walled fruits that ripen to a chocolate color (red-brown). The fruits taste sweet and aromatic. Become about 160 g in weight. They do especially well in protected cultivation, but can also be cultivated outdoors or on the balcony in sufficiently large planters. (From Bingenheimer Saatgut).

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Sowing peppers need a lot of heat for germination (25-28 ° C). Too low temperatures are the most common reason why bell pepper seeds do not sprout. Cover seeds only lightly with soil (about 0.2-0.5 cm). After pricking out, place in a bright and slightly cooler place (approx. 23°C). Harden off seedlings before setting out and protect with a fleece during cool nights. Cut off fruit, do not tear, so that the shoots are not damaged. Fertilize and water regularly. Protect from wind. Cultivation under glass is usually earlier and more productive. Then plant out from April. Breaking out the first flower is recommended to stimulate growth and yield. Do not let plants dry out.
