Bell pepper 'King Of The North'

Capsicum annuum

King of the North is a sweet bell pepper variety that ripens early and is very cold tolerant. It is therefore good for outdoor cultivation in areas with short or cool summers. The plants have a good yield and the red peppers are juicy, thick-walled and sweet-aromatic. Ideal for cooking, filling, grilling or for fresh consumption in the salad.

Thrives in a warm, sunny, sheltered location in nutrient-rich, humus-rich, porous and warm soil. The soil is kept evenly moist and it is important to constantly loosen the soil. Does not tolerate stagnant water.

Pre-cultivation: Feb - April. Pre-cultivated indoors in seed soil. Moisten the soil before sowing and only lightly press the seeds down on the surface. Cover the seed with clear plastic with air holes and place in 22-28 degrees, light and slightly cooler after germination. Use additional lighting for early sowing. When plants are large enough to handle, plant 1 plant per pot in fertilized soil. If necessary, top the plant at a height of 15 cm. Plant out after hardening when the risk of frost is over.
