Capsicum (Peperone) Seeds

Capsicum annum

The fruit is long, thin and crinkly in appearance with the aroma of a chilli but usually no heat when eaten. They store well in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and can be harvested green to red.

Sow seeds into pots, cover seed with 3mm of soil. Keep pots in a very warm position until germinated which can take up to 4 weeks. Transplant seedlings at 5-10cm to the garden in a very fertile position rich in manure and good drainage. Full sun is preferred. Space plants 40cm apart. Capsicums are heavy feeders and side dressings of fertiliser will help them to continue producing over a long period.

- Sow Spring and Summer
