Small, unusual ‘beaked’ fruits, ideal for sauces and salads, with fruity, aromatic flavours and a mild heat. This red-skinned type is quite a find – much rarer than the standard yellow-skinned type, it’s the perfect pepper to pickle!
Growing Information
Using a good quality, moist seed compost, sow your seeds in a propagator and cover with 6mm (¼”) compost. Place on a windowsill or in a greenhouse at approximately 21-24ºC (70-75ºF) to germinate, usually 5-7 days. Transfer seedlings into 7.5cm (3″) pots and grow on. Performs well in a large pot on a patio or most productive when grown in a greenhouse. Plant out in a sunny, sheltered position 50cm (20″) apart after risk of frost has passed. Support your plants with a cane as the fruit develops. Feed regularly with a proprietary fertiliser. Sowing – Cropping: 18-20 weeks.
