'Gogosar' Red Pepper (Capsicum annuum). In the garden, it quickly impresses with its vigorous plant growth and the formation of large, rounded, flattened, deep wine-red fruits that appear almost sculpted due to their distinctive shape. Its thick, juicy, and compact flesh makes it a particularly sought-after pepper for abundant late-summer harvests. Its discreet flowering gently enlivens the vegetable garden before giving way to generous and colorful fruiting, which is very decorative in garden beds and large containers. In the kitchen, it stands out for its remarkable versatility, being as delicious raw as it is sautéed, stuffed, preserved, or served with dips.
Recommended sowing period: February to April. The depth to respect is 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination generally takes 7 to 21 days. For germination, maintain the soil at 24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F). Young peppers and chili peppers appreciate stable warmth and abundant light after emergence. Repot before the roots become crowded at the bottom of the cells, handling the root ball without pulling on the stem. Acclimatize the plants gradually to the sun and wind. A drop in temperature slows their recovery: wait for favorable outdoor conditions instead of planting them in still-cold soil.
We particularly like to harvest it when fully ripe, when its color intensifies and its sweetness reaches its full potential. Place this warm-season crop in a sheltered part of the vegetable garden. An easy-to-access row allows observation of fruit coloration without roughly disturbing the stems. Pair it with moderately sized vegetables that will not shade it. The plants can also find a place near a sunny patio, where proximity facilitates small harvests for cooking. Its thick, juicy, and compact flesh makes it a particularly sought-after pepper for abundant late-summer harvests.

Growing method
Recommended sowing period: February to April. The sowing depth should be 0.5 cm (1/4 in). Germination usually takes 7 to 21 days. For germination, maintain the soil at 24 to 30 °C (75 to 86 °F). Young peppers and chili plants appreciate stable warmth and abundant light after germination. Repot before the roots become crowded at the bottom of the cells, handling the root ball without pulling on the stem. Gradually acclimatize the plants to sun and wind. A drop in temperature slows their recovery: wait for favorable outdoor conditions instead of planting them in still-cold soil. The fruit load can spread the branches of pepper or chili plants. A small support placed early limits breakage without requiring pruning. Monitor the undersides of leaves when watering and remove damaged fruits. For harvesting, cut the stem with pruning shears: pulling on the fruit risks tearing off an entire branch. Hot peppers should be handled with gloves when cutting. The color of the fruit changes with maturity, but a vivid color is not enough to determine its heat level.
Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Care level
Regular during establishment, then adapted to growing conditions
Watering
Regular
Soil type
Rich and well-drained
Fertilization
Fertilization supports growth and takes into account nutrients already present in the soil or potting mix. Use mature compost or a fertilizer suitable for the crop, following the dosage instructions. Avoid using multiple products, especially in a container where roots occupy a limited volume. Water as needed after application and observe foliage development before re-fertilizing.
Moisture
Keep the potting mix moist during germination, without waterlogging; then adjust according to the crop
Seasonal care
Its thick, juicy, and compact flesh makes it a particularly sought-after pepper for abundant late-summer harvests. Young peppers and chilies thrive with stable warmth and abundant light after germination. Repot before the roots become crowded at the bottom of the cells, handling the root ball without pulling on the stem. Gradually acclimate the plants to sun and wind. A drop in temperature slows their recovery: wait for favorable outdoor conditions rather than planting them in still-cold soil. The fruit load can cause pepper or chili branches to spread. Early placement of a small support limits breakage without requiring pruning. Check the underside of leaves when watering and remove damaged fruits. For harvesting, cut the stem with pruning shears: pulling on the fruit risks breaking off an entire branch. Handle hot peppers with gloves when cutting. The fruit's color changes with maturity, but a bright color alone is not enough to determine its heat level. Keep peppers identified during harvesting and preparation. Cut fruits with a clean tool to preserve the branches. A small amount of hot pepper should be added gradually to recipes, tasting the preparation before adding more. In the kitchen, it stands out for its remarkable versatility, delicious raw as well as sautéed, stuffed, canned, or served with dips. Recommended sowing period: February to April.
Container growing
A garden,within reach.
Suitable for containers
Yes
Recommended pot size
A sturdy, perforated container, wide enough for the plant to spread out and deep enough for the roots
Choose this exposure: sun. Reserve this spacing around the plant: 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in). In containers, leave a space between the root ball and the rim for slow watering. The saucer collects runoff, but should not keep the roots submerged in water. A location protected from gusts of wind is better for branches laden with fruit. Move the container while the plant is still small; once the fruits have formed, avoid moving it to prevent shaking the stems. Its discreet flowering gently enlivens the vegetable garden before giving way to a generous and colorful fruiting, very decorative in garden beds as well as in large containers. In the garden, it quickly impresses with the vigor of its plant and the formation of large, rounded and flattened fruits, a deep wine red, which almost seem sculpted due to their distinctive shape. Its thick, juicy and compact flesh makes it a particularly sought-after pepper for abundant late-summer harvests. In the kitchen, it stands out for its remarkable versatility, equally delicious raw as sautéed, stuffed, canned, or served with dips. We particularly like to harvest it when fully ripe, when its color intensifies and its sweetness reaches its full potential.

60 to 65 days after sowing
Garden associations
In goodcompany.
Companion plants
In a diversified plantation, you can reserve neighboring sections for these plants: basil, tomatoes, eggplants, carrots, onions. Here, companion planting is used to organize space and harvests. Respect each plant's height, light, and water needs, without crowding the foliage. Maintain a path for watering and harvesting, then remove finished crops to free up space. This organization facilitates maintenance but does not guarantee protection against pests. Place this warm-season crop in a sheltered part of the vegetable garden.

Cooking idea with 'Gogosar' Red Pepper: pan-fried peppers for four servings. Deseed 500g of peppers and cut them into strips. Heat 15ml of olive oil in a large frying pan, add the peppers and a small chopped onion, then cook over medium heat for 12 to 18 minutes. Stir regularly to brown the edges without burning the vegetables. Add a minced garlic clove at the end of cooking, then 5ml of vinegar. Salt to taste and serve with pasta or rice. Prepare ingredients with clean utensils and adjust the cut according to the size of your harvest. This recipe highlights freshly picked parts: remove damaged pieces before preparation. If you double the quantities, leave enough space in the dish to mix or cook evenly. Quickly place leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container and consume within two days. For a meal for two people, simply divide all quantities by two.
