Description: Mid-early variety. Bush height up to 60 cm.
Fruits are long, cone-shaped, bright red. Fruit weight 200-240 g. Tasty, aromatic. Stores well without loss of quality.
Uses: For salads, stuffing, canning, and making sweet paprika.
Growing conditions: For maximum yield, it is recommended to grow in a greenhouse, as the bushes require support under the weight of the fruit.
Growing from seed: Before planting, seeds must be treated: soak in water at 50ºC for 5-6 hours to swell. Then, wrap them in a damp cloth and leave for 2-3 days at a temperature of about 20ºC until the seeds sprout. Only then plant them in the soil. The seedlings must be watered, then covered with plastic or glass and placed in a warm place. As soon as the first shoots appear, the room temperature is increased to 26-28ºC (79-80ºF) during the day, while at night, the seedlings need a cooler temperature of 10-15ºC (50-59ºF).
Monitor the soil moisture in the seedling containers—it should be moderate. Water the seedlings with warm, settled water. When the first pair of leaves appears, transplant them.
Fertilize the soil: two weeks after transplanting, or when the seedlings develop their first pair of leaves, and then again two weeks later, or when the second pair of leaves develops.
Shortly before planting the seedlings outdoors, acclimate them to the environment they will be in: take the seedlings outside daily for short periods, gradually increasing the time, and ensure the temperature does not drop below 13ºC (55ºF). The grown, strengthened and hardened seedlings at the stage of forming the first buds are planted in open ground when the air temperature reaches 15-17 ºС.
