Sweet Pepper Lesya

£5.50

Reported to be the sweetest of all peppers, this Ukrainian heirloom produces lots of deep red fruit that are perfectly heart shaped. We love it stuffed or can be dried and smoked to make a sweet, smoky paprika.

Tender perennial, will require protection in winter or treat as an annual.

How to grow this seed

Additional Information

Growing Information

Sowing Instructions

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 20 cm in height, pinch out the growing tip to encourage bushy growth. From pinching out time, feed weekly with a quarter strength organic feed.

Growing Instructions

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.
