Thompson and Morgan Pepper Sweet Flamingo Plant Pot 9cm

Add some colour to your salad with these colour-changing peppers! These start a white colour, then shift through yellow, apricot and orange before maturing into deep red. At any stage, these will be sweet and harvestable. These have better yields and larger fruit than the Gypsy Bell peppers; they also have good resistance to Tomato Mosaic Virus. Peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. Pot up young plants and grow them on in warm, frost-free conditions. When plants are well-grown, transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well-prepared beds of fertile, well-drained soil. When growing sweet peppers outdoors, gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions over a period of seven to ten days before transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart. Feed and water pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season to prevent the flower buds from dropping. Taller varieties of sweet peppers may require staking. Provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. In greenhouses, maintain high humidity by damping down paths daily. Peppers can be harvested while still green, or left on the plant to ripen to red or yellow. Harvest peppers by cutting them from the plant with secateurs. Peppers grown outdoors must be harvested before the first frost.
