Zipfelmütze

Season Overview

Description

Aromatic, mild, juicy snack bell pepper with conical, broad-shouldered, distinctively pointed fruits that bear early and extraordinarily abundantly until the fall. Suitable for outdoor and pot cultivation. Family variety from Bavaria since 1970.

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 fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
