This sweet pepper is full of surprises. Its fruits turn from green in immaturity to dark brown, nearly black in maturity. A compact plant, this heirloom beauty won’t take up too much space in your greenhouse or polytunnel. Fruits are wonderfully fleshy and tender and live up to their ‘sweet’ name. Tastes delicious roasted as part of any dish.

An early start can help increase your harvest as pepper plants can be slow to mature. Start under grow lights in January or late February without lights. Requires warmth to germinate and grow on (an unheated greenhouse will not be warm enough). When pepper plants reach about 20cm in height, pinch out the growing tip to encourage bushy growth. From pinching out time, feed weekly with a quarter strength organic feed.
Continue to pot on each time roots appear out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot until planting out after last frost. Peppers love heat, so will always perform best in the greenhouse or polytunnel.
