Pepper Sweet Long Red Marconi ORGANIC Seeds

This is an attractive looking pepper with long thin sweet tasting fruits that turn from green to red with maturity. 

 

For best crops grow under glass or in a polytunnel but they can be grown outside in a very sunny sheltered spot in pots and containers. 

 

 

Sweet peppers need a long growing season and will grow outside if they are planted beside a south facing wall in containers and kept extremely sheltered. They are more suited to a greenhouse, tunnel or conservatory in pots.

 

Sow the seed between January - April in a seed tray covering the seed with a fine layer of sieved compost, and place on a sunny window sill or in a heated propagator do not let the compost dry out.

 

When the seedlings are around 5cm tall pot them into 9cm pots then into a larger pot as they grow transfer them in June to the greenhouse border, growbag or pots.

 

Water regularly and feed with a liquid feed when the first flowers appear.
