Paprika 'Zulu'
- Product number: 206410
- Origin: Poland
- Latin: Capsicum annuum
This variety produces thin-walled, medium-sized to elongated block peppers weighing approximately 140–160 grams. At the unripe stage, the peppers have a striking purple (violet) colour, which turns red when fully ripe.
Due to this distinctive colour, the variety is particularly suitable for harvesting at the purple stage. The fruits stand out beautifully among other coloured peppers. The purple colour is caused by a layer of pigment over the green pepper and largely disappears when heated.
At the purple stage, the pepper has a flavour similar to that of a green pepper. When ripe, it develops a sweeter flavour.
The plants are productive and bear upright fruit. They are suitable for growing in greenhouses or in warm, sheltered outdoor locations.
