Don't those big, fat, elongated glossy Bulls Horn red peppers look dangerously hot? But they aren't! This Italian heirloom variety is just the thing for slicing onto pizza or into salads and stir fries, and the chunky fruits are ideal for stuffing. Unlike chilli peppers, the flavour doesn't become hotter as the fruits ripen. Instead, it gets sweeter: looks great and tastes even better! Given hot enough conditions, the plants will get pretty big - but growing them in pots remains an option.

Growing Information

How to Sow

Soak seed for 12 hours prior to sowing. Sow in trays about 5mm deep. Water well and keep moist. If sowing early provide bottom heat to trays as seeds require a consistent temperature of 25 degrees to germinate.

How to Harvest

As soon as your peppers look big enough to eat, you can start to harvest them. If you want red peppers, leave them on the vine until they colour up. Cut them off with a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or a knife to avoid damage to the fruit or the plant.
