(Capsicum annuum) This popular Polish variety is well-known to European growers. It is a lobed, bell-type producing heavy sets of thick-walled fruit that ripen from green to bright yellow/gold. The compact plants have a good upright habit and don’t generally require staking. We don’t tend to grow many bells anymore, but this one is a winner with excellent sweetness and beautiful color, great for rainbow crudité plates. 90 days. AV

FERTILITY:
Moderate-Heavy. Prefer well-drained, fertile soil with ample phosphorous and calcium (too little calcium can cause blossom end rot) and a pH between 6.5-6.8.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Pepper seeds germinate very slowly and poorly in cold soil. Keep soil temperatures at 80-90F while germinating, and grow plants at 70F.
After transplanting, use a floating row cover to keep plants warmer during the day and protect them from cold nights. Remove as temperatures increase. Too much heat can cause blossom drop.
Taller varieties benefit from staking.
Harvesting ripe fruit consistently encourages fruit production.
