FIERY MAIDEN

The 'Fiery Maiden' pepper variety is an early-maturing, high-yielding, and high-quality variety. The plant is compact, reaching a height of 100 to 140 cm, with a spreading form and large dark-green leaves. The fruits are elongated-conical, smooth and glossy, with a wall thickness of about 1 mm and a weight of approximately 3.5 g. In technical maturity, they are green, but at biological maturity, they turn into a rich red color. The fruits have a spicy, sharp taste with a strong peppery aroma, making this variety valuable for those who enjoy spicy dishes. The 'Fiery Maiden' variety is drought-tolerant and highly demanding of light, which affects the intensity of the fruit's spiciness — the brighter the growing location, the more pronounced the spiciness. The period from germination to technical maturity is approximately 115 days, and harvesting takes place from August to October. The plant does not require pruning, which simplifies care and cultivation. High yields are achieved both in open ground and under plastic covers, where yield can reach up to 0.7 kg per square meter. The 'Fiery Maiden' pepper is versatile in use: its fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, pickling, whole-fruit canning, and drying for making spicy powders. Due to its strong peppery aroma and spiciness, this variety is widely used in cooking to add spice to dishes. Additionally, the plant can be grown as a potted plant, allowing for decorative use. This multifunctional approach makes 'Fiery Maiden' an attractive choice for gardeners and pepper enthusiasts.
