RHS Award Redskin F1 are very dwarf plants ideal for containers on a patio. The plant produces numerous medium size fruits which are slightly pointed, of bright green colour turning to red. As easy to grow as tomatoes and requiring much of the same treatment. Peppers can be grown outside, so long as they are in a sheltered sunny area, but best results are usually obtained when they are grown in a polytunnel or a glasshouse. Peppers are delicious when used raw in salads but are also very tasty when cooked. They can be stuffed, roasted or added to sauces.
WHEN TO SOW February to April
WHERE TO SOW Sow seed on the surface of a free draining compost in pots or trays and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite and place at a temperature 18-21°C until seeds germinate.
