Pepper Alexander Seeds (Capsicum) 8 Seeds Pepper Alexander Seeds (Capsicum) 8 Seeds

The pepper that thinks it is a tomato! Yes it really is a round, tomato shaped pepper! The dark red, sweet, shiny fruit are ideal for use in salads or for stuffing. Though the fruits are sweet, there is a slight after-taste of heat. Crops 18 weeks from sowing. We recommend 'grafted' varieties for earlier cropping and larger crops. Sow under glass as for tomatoes and grow on in pots in a cool greenhouse or tunnel. Redskin and Apache F1 can be grown outdoors on a sunny patio in warm areas, preferably against a sunny wall.TOBY'S TIP: Peppers are unique. Grow them in a 30cm (12") pot and the fruits will reach their full size. Grow them in a 15cm (6") pot and they will produce mature fruit, only much smaller. HEALTH BENEFITS: Red and green peppers are high in vitamin C and the red very high in vitamin A. CULINARY HINT: Try sweet pepper strips raw with dips or roasted whole and stuffed! make a simple chilli oil by adding whole chillies to a bottle of olive oil (puncture them to make them sink). Take care when preparing chillies as the substance which causes the 'hot' flavour can also cause irritation if it comes in contact with the eyes.
