Botanic Name: Capsicum annuum

30 seeds

An Italian heirloom variety producing fruits with thick, tasty flesh.
Features: Biggest crops from plants grown in a green house but can be grown outdoors
Sowing Guide - Indoors: For greenhouse crops, sow indoors, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, thinly in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border.
Sowing Guide - Outdoors: For outdoor crops, delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 40cm (16”) apart, when frosts are over. Choose a warm, sunny sheltered spot. Outdoor crops will be smaller and later than those in a greenhouse.
Soil Type: Warm, well-drained soil
Hints & Tips: The firm fruits are excellent roasted either stuffed or on their own. This variety is also traditionally preserved in oil or vinegar.
Germination Time: 7-21 days
