Advice from our agronomist
Sowing Sow in February–March in pots 0.5 cm deep (22 °C); prick out and plant into a greenhouse in early June, 50–60 cm apart, like tomatoes.
Care Grow like a tomato: a warm sunny spot or greenhouse, support and regular feeding. It bears white-lilac flowers and needs nights above 10 °C.
Harvest Fruits ripen from August to October; pick when the skin turns yellowish with purple stripes and the fruit yields slightly to a gentle press.
