Know before you buy
These seeds are best started indoors as transplants rather than direct-sown. Aim for a soil temperature between 80-85°F to ensure successful germination, which typically takes 10 to 20 days.
You can expect to harvest your first peppers approximately 70 days after transplanting. The fruit will begin as an ivory-yellow color and eventually ripen to a vibrant red.
Yes, the Valahia F1 is highly versatile and performs well in both open field settings and protected environments like greenhouses or high tunnels.
For optimal growth and airflow, space your plants 12 to 24 inches apart within the row. Rows should be spaced 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for easy maintenance and harvesting.
TSWV stands for Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, a common disease spread by thrips. Having intermediate resistance means the plant is better equipped to tolerate the virus and maintain productivity compared to non-resistant varieties.
The Valahia F1 produces blocky, thick-walled bell peppers that measure approximately 3 inches wide by 3¾ inches long.
