Grafted sweet pepper plants offer increased vigour, yields and resistance to soil borne pest and diseases in every situation but they are particularly useful if you are growing peppers in your greenhouse in the same ground. Our grafted peppers may come with a grafting clip. Leave this in place and allow it to drop off naturally as the plant grows.
What’s so good about grafted veg plants?
Grafting onto specific rootstocks, of course, creates bigger, better, more disease-resistant plants with increased yield. Consequently, we believe, the extra vigour which the plant obtains will provide even better protection to late Blight attack, and the plants will grow away from any infection even more rapidly.
Grow in the greenhouse or outdoors, little or no heating is required. With excellent resistance to soil-borne pests and diseases - No more ring culture or grow bags you simply plant straight in the soil.
Growing Information
Peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. Pot up young plants and grow them on in warm frost free conditions. When plants are well grown transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well prepared beds of fertile, well drained soil. When growing sweet peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart.
