Artist

The 'Artist' pepper variety is a very early sweet pepper with conical, horn-shaped fruits 10-12 cm long. Plants grow up to 50 cm tall, allowing cultivation both in open ground and in containers on balconies or terraces. Fruits initially have a greenish-yellow hue, then turn dark red and glossy. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and flavorful, making this variety versatile for fresh consumption, canning, and freezing. 'Artist' pepper is recommended for cultivation in light, well-drained, moderately moist, and nutrient-rich soils on warm and sunny sites. For successful cultivation, seeds are sown in late March to early April in pots, and seedlings are transplanted into open ground in late May after the threat of spring frosts. Plants are spaced 40 x 30 cm apart. Fruits begin ripening in mid-August and can be harvested until the first frosts. 'Artist' pepper is heat-loving and requires cultivation from seedlings grown in heated, well-lit areas. The variety is compact and suitable for cultivation in various conditions, including field plots and unheated greenhouses. Thanks to its flavor and versatility, 'Artist' pepper is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an early harvest of sweet and aromatic fruits.
