Description

F1 hybrid. The 15-18 cm long, icicle-shaped fruits ripen from white-green to deep red. They are tasty and rich in vitamins. They always love a sunny, wind-protected place and need humus, well-drained, nutrient-rich garden soil to grow. For greenhouse and protected outdoor. Resistant to tomato mosaic virus. Germination after 15-25 days at 22-28°C. (From Sperli).

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Cover the seeds only lightly with soil for germination, keep evenly moist but not wet and warm (min. 20°C, more likely 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 start to form, fertilize about 1 time a week. The first flower can be broken out to encourage the formation of more fruits. Wind-protected locations are advantageous. Support shoots if necessary.
