Variety description: Turkish pepper is a perfect addition to any pepper cultivation, as the fruits are extremely aromatic and rather sweet. They are ideal raw for summer salads and also cooked as a vegetable or vegetable addition.

This high-yielding variety produces pointed, elongated and dark red fruits. As a Turkish local variety, it can also be cultivated outdoors in warmer areas. Otherwise, a greenhouse climate is suitable for the tall plant.

Cultivation: Before sowing, moisten the soil, sprinkle seeds on top, cover very thinly and press down lightly. At 20°-26°C, the seeds germinate after 8-14 days.

Care: Give the young plants suitable fertilizer at the beginning of May. Special tomato and pepper fertilizer has a long-term effect and can be easily worked into the soil. The location should be bright to sunny and warm. Water generously. At night, the temperature should not fall below 16°C.

Pepper plants always look neat and become even more beautiful when the fruits turn from green to red in late summer/early autumn or decorate the balcony or terrace in yellow or dark purple. Then the harvest takes place and you can use this healthy vegetable in a variety of ways. Enjoy your meal!

Use suitable humus-rich soil or ready-made special soil.

It is best to sow in pots straight away. February to April is ideal. For outdoor cultivation, the end of April to mid-May is sufficient. The cultivation period is 12-14 weeks, depending on the variety.

Fertilize generously with tomato/pepper fertilizer or lots of compost.

For good soil, you should water a lot, as the plants develop few roots and therefore cannot store much.

Give the young plants a stick to support them

Break out the first flower/fruit. This increases the yield of the ripening fruit.

The water used for irrigation must not be colder than 14°C.
