With its mild and tasty taste, the 'Gourmet' pepper is versatile: it can be eaten fresh, in salads, grilled, stuffed or used in sauce. Suitable for growing in open ground or in containers, it fits easily into small vegetable gardens or on balconies.
For best results, sow seeds indoors 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost. Plant them 0.5 to 1 cm deep in rich potting soil and maintain a temperature of 24 to 26 °C. Seeds germinate in 7 to 14 days. Transplant outdoors once the risk of frost has passed, spacing them 40 to 50 cm apart in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
Exposed to full sun and benefiting from regular irrigation, the 'Gourmet' pepper guarantees abundant harvests throughout the season. Its juicy flesh and bright color will enhance your dishes while adding a nutritious and tasty touch.
A delicious and elegant variety, ideal for all gardens and kitchens!
