Grow a splash of colour and flavour with Pepper Tangerine Dream. Ripening to a bold orange-red these tapered 7cm fruits will pepper your compact plants – they are prolific, mild, very sweet, delicious with the merest hint of warmth. Perfection on your plant and plate, perfect for salad snacking, stuffing, grilling, pickling…and more! Plants reach 40-50cm in size.
SOW: surface sow March to May and just cover (3-5mm). You can use gentle heat whilst germinating18-21°C. You can sow earlier if you have warm growing conditions. When large enough to handle pot on. Ready to plant up when about 10cm tall.
GROW: happy in containers, harden off before putting any outside, also happy in a well-ventilated conservatory or greenhouse. Pinching out the growing tip when 15cm tall will encourage bushier growth but delay fruiting. Fruits appear all over the plants and ripen to an eye-catching bold orange-red, very ornamental and great fun.
ENJOY: almost irresistible to just pick and bite into, serve in salads or cook these delicious little fruits. That hint of heat will depend on the growing conditions you give them!
