Pepper DRAGON'S FLAME

DRAGON'S FLAME is an early-maturing variety of hot pepper, distinguished by its giant fruits and high yield. The plants are bushy, reaching a height of 50-60 cm, making them suitable for cultivation in both plastic greenhouses and open ground. The fruits are conical in shape with a pointed tip, smooth and fleshy, measuring 17-20 cm in length, 5-6 cm in diameter, and weighing about 120 g. In technical maturity, they are light green, and in biological maturity, they turn a deep red, with a wall thickness of 4-5 mm.

The flesh of the fruits has a distinctly sharp flavor and aroma, making this pepper ideal for culinary use. Ground fruits are used as a spice that enhances flavor and adds a spicy kick to various dishes. Due to their fleshy texture and large size, the fruits are excellent for canning and pickling.

Growing this variety requires sowing seedlings in late February, followed by transplanting when the seedlings have developed their cotyledons. Seedlings are transplanted into the ground in late May, following a planting scheme of 30x40 cm. To promote better growth and fruiting, it is recommended to remove all side shoots and leaves up to the first fork.
