Pepper Candy

Sweet pepper "Candy" F1 is an early-maturing hybrid with a maturation period from emergence to technical ripeness of 85-95 days, and to biological ripeness — 115-130 days. Plants are low-growing, reaching 40-60 cm in height, making them suitable for cultivation in limited spaces such as plastic greenhouses and container gardening. Fruits have a spherical shape, small in size, weighing 40-50 grams, with thick flesh and walls 6-7 mm thick.

Fruit color changes during ripening: in technical ripeness they have a yellowish-green hue, while in biological ripeness — a vibrant red. Due to their high sweetness and decorative appearance, these peppers are especially popular among children and can be used both fresh and for decorating dishes. Yield per plant ranges from 0.8 to 1.0 kg, ensuring good harvest with proper care.

For successful cultivation, sow seedlings in early March, followed by transplanting in the cotyledon stage. Planting in the ground is conducted at the end of May, following a planting scheme of 30x40 cm. During plant formation, remove all lateral shoots and leaves up to the first fork, which promotes better development of main fruits and increases yield. This hybrid is ideal for cultivation in plastic greenhouses and in containers at home.
