Thompson and Morgan Pepper Sweet Solario Grafted Plant in Pot 9cm

Cultivate your own delectable, sweet red peppers, even in an unheated greenhouse! The Grafted Sweet Pepper ‘Solario’ F1 is a French hybrid variety, carefully created for unheated greenhouse growing. These grafted plants yield bountiful crops of large, thick-walled, dark red fruits, approximately 12 cm in length and weighing around 250 g each. This early-maturing variety is both fertile and compact, boasting good disease resistance, making it ideal for patios, kitchen gardens, greenhouses or conservatories. Plant height reaches approximately 90 cm (36 inches) with a spread of 45 cm (18 inches).
Grafted sweet pepper plants show improved vigour, increased yields and greater resistance to soil-borne pests and diseases, a significant advantage when growing peppers in the same greenhouse ground. Grafting clips may be present on our grafted peppers; simply leave these in place and allow them to detach naturally as the plant develops. As plant height and spread can vary according to the season, the information we provide is based on pot size rather than a fixed plant size. Consequently, delivered plant height and spread may differ, and images are for illustrative purposes only.
Peppers can be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or outdoors in a sheltered, sunny spot with full sun exposure. Begin by potting up young plants and nurturing them in warm, frost-free conditions. Once the plants are well-established, transplant them into grow bags, containers, or well-prepared beds of fertile, well-drained soil. When growing sweet peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of seven to ten days before transplanting, spacing the pepper plants 50 cm (20 inches) apart.
