The Capsicum annuum Kusburnu BIO is known for its vigorous growth and reliability. The plants grow to approximately 50–80 cm tall, depending on location and care. They form a bushy structure with abundant flowering and continuous fruiting throughout the season.
Recommended growing conditions for optimal results:
Sowing: From February to April indoors, preferably in seed trays or small pots.
Germination temperature: 22–26°C for rapid and even emergence.
Prick out: as soon as the seedlings have two true leaves.
Plant out: after mid-May, when night temperatures no longer drop below 10–12°C.
Location: sunny, warm, sheltered and at least six hours of direct sunlight per day.
