Ilica

The Ilica pepper variety is a hot determinate type, well-suited for cultivation both in open and protected ground. With proper feeding, one plant can yield about 120 fruits, making this variety highly productive. The fruits easily detach from the stem, leaving the stem intact, which facilitates harvesting. The variety is intended for hand-picking, preserving the integrity and quality of the fruits.

The fruits of the Ilica pepper have a dense structure and change color during ripening: they are dark green at technical maturity, turn green-yellow, and become a rich red when fully ripe. The average fruit size is 18-20 cm long and about 2 cm in diameter. The thin flesh makes them particularly appealing for fresh consumption, while retaining their characteristic spiciness and flavor.

A distinctive feature of this variety is the gradual emergence of bitterness during the technical maturity phase, allowing the flavor to be adjusted according to the harvest stage. Thanks to its characteristics and ease of cultivation, the Ilica pepper is an excellent choice for gardeners and farmers seeking high-quality, flavorful hot peppers.
