SALE- Pepper (Sweet) Ariane F1 PPP A.Capsicum annuum B.GB40557 C.Lot D.GB

Ariane produces mid-green young fruits which mature to a wonderful rich orange colour. This variety of pepper has a lovely sweet flavoured crisp flesh which would be ideal raw in a summer salad.

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.
