Harvest

Harvest
  • Heavy crops of large conical fruits
  • Early to mature
  • Can be harvested green or red

Sweet pepper ‘Slavus’ matures early, producing a heavy crop of large conical Hungarian-type peppers that can be harvested when green or left to ripen to red. The fruits are packed with health-giving vitamins and anti-oxidants.

Sow indoors

Level fill a module seed tray firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually and cover with 1cm (½ in) layer of fine compost. Place in a propagator at 18-25°C (65-75°F) or cover tray with cling film and leave in a warm room. Keep moist.

Grow on

When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When plants have 4-6 leaves transplant to 9cm (3½ in) pots of potting compost. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 15?C (60°F). Pinch the growing tip to encourage bushy growth.

Plant out

Plant into growing bags or the greenhouse border when the first flowers have opened. Alternatively grow in containers in a warm sheltered spot on patio. Support stems with canes as they grow.

Aftercare

Water regularly and feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser as fruit start to swell. Use good quality compost suitable for containers, water regularly and feed with a liquid tomato fertiliser.
