Pepper (Sweet) Redskin F1

RHS Award

Redskin F1 Pepper Seeds are ideal for planting in containers on the patio. They produce dwarf plants which produces numerous medium size fruits which are slightly pointed, of bright green colour turning to red.

As easy to grow as tomatoes and requiring much of the same treatment. Peppers can be grown outside, so long as they are in a sheltered sunny area, but best results are usually obtained when they are grown in a polytunnel or a glasshouse. Peppers are delicious when used raw in salads but are also very tasty when cooked. They can be stuffed, roasted or added to sauces.
