Description
The Peperoni is a long, mild to moderately hot Spitzpaprika suitable for salads, antipasti, and pickling. It is lighter and faster to grow than the fiery Chinese chilies and can also be cultivated outdoors in a warm spot. When harvested green it tastes fresh; when fully ripened to red it becomes sweeter and fuller.
Care instructions
Sow from February to March in a warm place and transplant seedlings after the last frost (mid‑May, week 20) to a sunny, sheltered location. Water evenly at the root and support the stems once they become heavy with fruit. Harvest regularly—each picked pod stimulates new flowers—and the plant will continue to produce until the first frost.
