| Latin Name: | Capsicum annuum |
| Plant Type: | Annual |
| Height: | 40cm |
| Spread: | 40cm |
| Growing Info: Sow inside from Feb-Apr. Earlier sowing gives longer harvests. Sow into pots filled with free-draining compost. Cover with vermiculite and keep at 21°C. Uncover once seedlings appear and prick out into individual 12-15cm pots once 2-3cm high. Plant into their final position 30cm apart in the greenhouse/tunnel; alternatively acclimatise and plant outside once frosts have passed. |
|
| Aftercare: Stake plants to keep upright as they get taller. Feed with high potassium fertiliser weekly after flowering starts to ensure a bumper crop. |
