Saisonübersicht

Beschreibung

This variety produces blocky, elongated sweet peppers (length 12-15 cm/ width 6-8 cm) and ripens from green to blue-violet to dark red. The fruit has medium-thick walls and ripens rather late. The yield is medium. The blue-violet (unripe) fruits, which have a mild taste, are mainly used. At this stage, the flesh is light green, almost white. These fruits can be harvested very early in the season. Growing height approx. 70 cm.

Anbautipps

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.
