  • Strong, vital plants that produce a high yield per plant

  • Uniform ripening for a consistent harvest

The plants prefer full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow indoors from April, or outdoors from late May when the soil temperature is consistently above 15°C. Mulching and regular watering during fruiting will ensure maximum yield.
