  • Features: A unique, mild snack pepper with eye-catching foliage. Fruit ripens from green striped to solid red.
  • Maturity: 60-65 days / length of pepper is 9-10cm (3.5-4").
  • Light: Plant in full sun.
  • Soil and water: Sandy loam to clay loam. Soil rich in nutrients with good drainage and a neutral ph level of 5.5 to 6.5. Water as needed. Normal to moist.
  • Spacing: Set transplants about 30-45cm (12-18") apart.
  • Height: 45cm (18") in height.
  • Garden use: Best in containers or in-ground.
  • Growing tips: Low maintenance. They are relatively easy to grow, as long as they receive plenty of moisture and nutrients, are not subjected to cold and receive plenty of sunshine. Don't overfertilize. This tends to make the plants develop lush foliage at the expense of fruit production. Just follow the directions for your favourite vegetable fertilizer.
  • Culinary use: Sweet flavour perfect for eating at any stage of ripeness.
All peppers share a preference for a long, warm growing season. Set out transplants a week or two after your last frost, when the weather is settled and warm. Until the threat of frost has passed, keep your seedlings indoors at night, and move them to a protected sunny spot outdoors during the day.
