Cultivation method:
Sow seeds indoors about 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, in a light, well-drained potting soil. Maintain a constant temperature of 72 to 77°F (22 to 25°C) to encourage rapid germination, which usually occurs in 7 to 14 days. Once the seedlings are well developed, transplant them into individual pots. Transplant them into the garden after the last frost, in a sunny location with rich, well-amended soil. Space the plants 18 to 24 inches apart to allow good air circulation.
For sweet, well-developed fruits, water regularly without soaking the soil and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest the fruits when they reach their full red color for optimal flavor. This pepper is particularly appreciated for its versatility: delicious grilled, marinated or used fresh in salads, it adds a mild flavor and an elegant touch to your dishes. The Shepard Dimitri F1 sweet pepper is an essential choice for lovers of Mediterranean flavors and quality vegetables.
