Description

Westlandia is a high-yielding spicy bell pepper with intensely red-colored, long, hot fruits. It is intended for outdoor and indoor cultivation. The fruits are elongated, have fleshy walls and a shiny, strong skin. It is recommended to eat them fresh as an addition to salads, soups, sauces, stews or marinades.

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.
