Aji White Fantasy

Season Overview

Description

This chili variety is a real eye-catcher on the balcony or terrace. The fruits have a bell shape, ripen from white to light yellow and also taste very good. They have no sweetness, but are fruity and fresh. They are only mildly spicy and are therefore ideal raw in salads or sliced on bread. The plants are very productive, so the side shoots probably need to be supported.

Growing tips

Chili should be grown 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. However, this is not as important for chili peppers as it is for peppers. 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.
