Pepper "Yellow Bull's Horn" / Corno di Toro `Giallo / 10 seeds
(Capsicum annuum)
Sweet and mild Italian classic - the Yellow Bull's Horn
Variety description: The Italian pepper variety Corno di Toro- Yellow forms mild and sweet, yellow pointed fruits. They are about 20 cm long and ripen from green to yellow. The peppers are slightly curved and have a thick skin. The plant itself forms a strong stem, grows bushy and reaches a height of 60-90 cm, from which the growing pods hang down. The aromatic peppers are versatile. They can be eaten fresh, fried, stuffed, pickled or made into sauce/salsa. The yield is high and the many fruits unfortunately only ripen fully if the plant receives sufficient warmth. It takes about 70-80 days until 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 - 5 hours of sun per day is ideal, but this might be difficult here. Water generously 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 90% and only decreases very slowly.
