Orange Horizon

Season Overview

Description

The sweet bell pepper 'Orange Horizon' produces fruits that taste aromatic and can be harvested as early as August. The sturdy 'Orange Horizon' variety remains compact and is ideal for the balcony and patio.

Growing tips

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruit is harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
