Sweet Chocolate Chili Seeds

Information: Sweet Chocolate is an attractive and delicious sweet pepper variety from the USA. The plants are robust and the glossy, aromatic and chocolate-brown block peppers ripen relatively early. They are thick-walled, juicy and have an exceptional sweet aroma without being hot. They are particularly suitable for eating fresh in salads and for stuffing (e.g. with feta cheese or minced meat). The variety is suitable for pot culture as well as for outdoor use, as it also does well in less warm climatic regions, however, like all pepper varieties, it needs a sheltered, full-sun spot.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
