Capsicum Seven Colours HEIRLOOM

(Capsicum annuum)

An interesting and tasty mix of varieties of many colours including brown, purple, gold, orange, green, red and crimson. It produces fruit in about 120 days, a real novelty. For best results, grow in a hot sunny spot - they prefer rich, free draining compost soil.

When to plant: Early Spring to early Summer.
How to grow: Drop seeds 6mm (0.25in) deep in seed tray or punnet, in seed raising mix or compost. Keep moist. Thin (prick out) into 10cm (4in) pots when large enough to handle. Plant in final position when about 15cm (6in) tall, spacing plants 50cm (20in) apart. Prepare the soil by adding organic material and a complete fertiliser.
Harvest: At any time.
