Description

Sweet Pepper ‘Shadow’ offers big, blocky peppers that start off nearly black, gradually transitioning to a rich, vibrant red as they ripen. Enjoy them at any stage – when black they have a green pepper-like taste, alternatively leave them to mature to a sweeter, juicier red. The fruits have sweet, crisp flesh, making them perfect for salads, dipping, or cooking. Sweet Pepper ‘Shadow’ is ideal for greenhouse or tunnel growing where you can provide some support for the weight of the ripening fruit. These vigorous plants have excellent disease resistance. Height: 1.2m (47in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

How to Grow
Peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. Pot up young plants and grow them on in warm frost free conditions. When plants are well grown transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well prepared beds of fertile, well drained soil. When growing sweet peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart.
More Info
Feed and water pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season to prevent the flower buds from dropping. Taller varieties of sweet peppers may require staking. Provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. In greenhouses, maintain high humidity by damping down paths daily. Peppers can be harvested while still green, or left on the plant to ripen to yellow, orange or red. Harvest peppers by cutting them from the plant by with secateurs. Peppers grown outdoors must be harvested before the first frosts.

Caution: irritant to skin and eyes
