The plant is indeterminate type, semi-spreading, medium-height, with a strong root system and large dark-green leaves. The plant height reaches about one meter, providing good foliage and high market yield, which in greenhouse conditions can reach up to 5.7 kg per square meter.
The Fantastica pepper fruits have a cube-shaped form and a weight ranging from 160 to 200 grams. They feature thick walls (8-10 mm), juicy and dense flesh with a sugary taste and mild spicy notes. In technical ripeness, the fruits have a yellowish or white color, while in biological ripeness they turn into vibrant orange. The fruits are four-chambered, 10-12 cm long and 8-10 cm in diameter, with an intense 'spicy' aroma and high flavor quality, making them an excellent choice for fresh consumption, home cooking, and canning.
For successful cultivation of the Fantastica variety, it is recommended to choose sunny areas with loose and nutrient-rich soil. The hybrid is resistant to tobacco mosaic virus and fusarium wilt, enhancing its reliability and stable yield. Due to its characteristics and versatility, this variety is an excellent option for sweet pepper enthusiasts seeking a high-quality and flavorful product.
