FIREWORK

Decorative pepper 'Firework' is a compact, branched shrub up to 35-40 cm tall, ideal for growing in pots. Its stems are covered with dense emerald leaves, and numerous brightly colored fruits — ranging from yellow and red to raspberry and purplish-black — create an eye-catching decorative appearance. The fruits are conical, up to 5 cm long, and retain their decorative appeal for 2-3 months.

This pepper not only has an attractive appearance but also a spicy flavor, making it suitable for home cooking. The fruits are suitable for drying, pickling, and preparing various dishes. The plant produces best in bright sunlight with regular and abundant watering, as soil drying leads to fruit drop.

Pepper seedlings emerge on the 14th-18th day after sowing. After the appearance of the fourth leaf, seedlings are transplanted into individual cups. For successful cultivation, pots with plants should be placed in locations protected from direct sunlight. Sowing is carried out from February to April at a depth of 1-1.5 cm, and harvest occurs in June-July.
