How To Grow
Good disease/pest resistance
Pepper plants can suffer from Red Spider Mites, Blossom End Rot and Aphids. This variety has good resistance but these are the common pepper problems.MORE
Water Regularly
Full sun in a sheltered position
Full sun in a sheltered position
Pepper plants need 6-8 hours of direct sun every day. If not positioned in a greenhouse or inside space then place in a position sheltered from chilling winds such as a south-facing wall.
Rich, well-draining soil
A good-mix to use is three parts quality compost to one part topsoil.
Feed regularly
As the plant begins to flower feed weekling with a high-potash feed such as liquid tomato feed.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.

Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
John Harris
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.

A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
