SALE - Pepper (Sweet) Thor F1 (RHS Award of Garden Merit)

Thor F1 are mild, sweet flavoured peppers with long, hornshaped fruits that are slightly curved and tapering off to a point. These peppers have a thick skin. The fruits ripen from mid-green to an intense, deep red that darkens with maturity. The size of the fruits produced on average are 6cm wide, 21cm long and you can get up to 50 fruits from one plant.

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.
