Seeds Chili Paprika Violetta (Capsicum annuum)

Chili pepper "Violetta" / 10 seeds

(Capsicum annuum)

Colorful and fruity block pepper!

Variety description: The Violetta variety stands out due to its purple to almost black fruits. The plant has a very stable, strong growth with a light structure. The thick-walled, crunchy block peppers grow to around 10-12 cm long and reach a weight of around 200 g. They have a typical fruity pepper aroma and are ideal for direct consumption. Due to their great color, they also visually complement any salad. Even as a plant, they are a real eye-catcher, but when the fruits ripen, they are an ornament that you don't want to harvest.

Give the young plants suitable fertilizer at the beginning of May. Special tomato and pepper fertilizer has a long-term effect and can be easily worked into the nutrient-rich soil. The location should be bright to sunny and warm. The more sunlight the plants get, the better they thrive - ideally 5 hours of sun per day is enough, but that might be difficult here. Water them well and the water temperature should not be below 14°C. At night the temperature should not fall below 12°C. Chili plants always look neat and become even more beautiful when the fruits turn from green to red in late summer/early autumn or decorate the balcony or terrace in yellow or dark purple. Then the harvest takes place and you can use this versatile species. Enjoy your meal - if possible!

Before sowing, moisten the soil, sprinkle seeds on it, cover it very thinly and press down lightly. At 20°-26°C the seeds germinate after 8-14 days. You can also just press the seeds onto the soil, as they are light germinators.

The germination rate is around 85% and only decreases very slowly.
