Description

The Beluga® 'Red' block bell pepper is a reliable F1 hybrid classic. It ripens from green to red. The fruits are pleasantly sweet and juicy with a mild aroma and weigh approx. 180-200g. The plant grows vigorously and robustly, is resistant to the bell pepper mosaic virus, comparatively cold-tolerant and therefore particularly suitable for outdoor cultivation.

F1 Hybrid

Not frost resistant

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.
