If you love the look of chillies but can’t stand the heat, then this Italian Capsicum is for you. Although it has that red-hot look (complete with the wartiness of some of the world’s hottest chillies) this is a very mild, sweet pepper that’s safe for the most delicate of taste buds. It’s said that an occasional hot fruit sneaks into the mix, but many growers report that they’ve never encountered this. So, get creative in the kitchen and expect sweetness rather than spice.

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.
