Cultivation method:
Sow seeds 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost, at an ideal temperature of 22 to 28°C. Once the plants are well developed (10 to 15 cm high), transplant them into the ground or into a pot after the last frost, spacing them 50 cm apart.
Provide them with rich, well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Staking is recommended to keep the plant upright and optimize production.
The first fruits ripen about 70 to 80 days after sowing and the harvest continues until autumn.
Grows very well in pots! A container of at least 15 liters is enough for a good production, but with a larger format (like a standard 28L or 32L, or 35L bag of soil), the plant will be even more generous.
Use and special features:
With its juicy flesh and perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, 'Märchen-Glanz' is ideal for summer salads, appetizers, or simply to be enjoyed straight from the plant. Its thin, shiny skin gives it a pleasant texture in the mouth, perfect for fresh consumption.
