The 'Velten' pepper is a medium-maturing variety of sweet pepper with a strong plant reaching 0.8 to 1.2 meters in height. The bushes are semi-spreading and sturdy, allowing them to grow successfully both in polyethylene greenhouses and in open ground. The period from seedling emergence to technical fruit maturity averages 115 to 129 days, and with proper care, the harvest ripens in waves, ensuring a steady yield.
The fruits of the 'Velten' pepper are large in size and cube- or prism-shaped, up to 10-12 cm in length. The weight of a single pepper can reach 400-500 grams, with individual specimens growing up to 800-1000 grams. The fruit walls are fleshy and thick — about 1-1.2 cm — ensuring juiciness and tenderness of the flesh. Ripe fruits have a rich red color with a glossy surface and an excellent juicy-sweet taste, making them suitable for fresh consumption, stuffing, and canning.
In addition to impressive flavor qualities, the 'Velten' pepper is rich in beta-carotene and other vitamins essential for human health. The variety is characterized by high yield and good immunity, simplifying cultivation and reducing disease risk. Seeds retain germination capacity for up to two years, allowing their use for subsequent plantings. Thanks to its large fruits, excellent taste, and nutritional properties, this variety is an excellent choice for gardeners and growers aiming to obtain a rich and high-quality harvest.
