Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Sweet Pepper ‘Solario’ F1 (Grafted) is a French hybrid variety which has been especially developed for growing in unheated greenhouses. It produces large, thick-walled, dark red fruit about 12cm and weighing around 250g. An early maturing and fertile variety with a compact habit and good disease resistance. Height: 90cm (36”). Spread: 45cm (18”).

Grafted sweet pepper plants offer increased vigour, yields and resistance to soil borne pest and diseases in every situation but they are particularly useful if you are growing peppers in your greenhouse in the same ground. Our grafted peppers may come with a grafting clip. Leave this in place and allow it to drop off naturally as the plant grows.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

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.

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 red or yellow. Harvest peppers by cutting them from the plant by with secateurs. Peppers grown outdoors must be harvested before the first frosts.
