Description
Mildly sweet bell pepper with blocky and heavy fruits. Fruits ripen from dark green to bright red, can also be cultivated outdoors in milder climates, annual. Cultivation: garden, greenhouse, balcony, open field. Does not necessarily need to be pre-grown for the greenhouse. Covered cultivation is recommended.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Growing tips
Sowing indoors not recommended. Height: 80-120 cm. Cover the seeds only lightly with soil to germinate, keep them evenly moist but not wet and warm (min. 20°C, preferably 25°C). A bright location is also important. Prick out as soon as 2-4 true leaves are present. Harden off before planting out. When the first fruits begin to form, fertilize about once a week. The first flower can be broken off to encourage the formation of further fruit. Locations protected from the wind are advantageous. Support shoots if necessary.
