Crimson King

Sweet pepper Crimson King F1 — an early hybrid from the Dutch breeding company Hazera, suitable for cultivation in open and protected soil. The plant is compact, lushly leafed, with a well-developed root system, ensuring its resistance to stressful conditions and major diseases such as virus-induced wilting, tobacco mosaic, and nematodes. The hybrid responds well to intensive agronomy and fertilization, promoting significant fruit formation even under adverse conditions. Yield potential is 10–11 fruits per plant.

Fruits have a cube-like shape, large size — length around 10–12 cm, width up to 10 cm, weight ranging from 250 to 350 grams. Wall thickness reaches 10 mm, giving the fruits a fleshy and juicy texture. Fruit color changes from dark green at technical maturity to bright red at biological maturity, and the shiny, elastic skin ensures high transportability and good storability. Due to these qualities, Crimson King F1 sweet pepper is ideal for fresh market sales, home cooking, canning, and freezing.

The hybrid has an early maturity period — the first harvest can be collected as early as 62–70 days after planting. Crimson King F1 pepper demonstrates excellent adaptability to various growing conditions and protects developing fruits from sunburn. These features make it a versatile and sought-after variety for farmers and gardeners aiming to achieve a stable and high-quality sweet pepper harvest.
