A sweet pepper disguised as a fiery chilli, this Japanese heirloom from the Nara Prefecture is perfect for those that do not like spice. Absolutely stunning with deep purple fruit ripening to red in maturity, and dark tinted leaves. Traditionally used in pickling recipes, but also great roasted or raw in salads.
Tender perennial, will require protection in winter or treat as an annual.
Average 10 seeds.

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.
