Capsicum 'Peacework'

A$5.25

Capsicum annuum

  • Early producing capsicum designed for short season growers

  • Large fruit size (bell shape) with a swet flavour

  • Matures to rosy red

  • Great leaf coverage

  • Cucumber Mosiac Virus resistant

  • Great overall yield well into late Autumn

‘Peacework’ capsicum was developed specifically for short season, organic production.  It was bred for earliness, Cucumber Mosaic Virus (CMV) resistance and yield, selecting for large fruit size on productive plants.

 Developed by Liz Henderson, Peacework Farm & Cornell University, we were impressed with the flavour, yield and vigour of the plants.  ‘Peacework’ is not as early as ‘King of the North’ but it produces over a longer season

TRANSPLANTS (recommended)- Sow seeds into shallow flats, 4 seeds/2.5cm about 8 weeks prior to transplanting. If possible, maintain soil temperatures at 27-32°C. Capsicum seeds germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 5cm cell-type containers or 10cm pots. Grow plants at approx. 21°C day and 16°C nights. Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.

Transplant out after frost when the soil is warm and weather is settled. Ideal seedlings have buds, but no open flowers. Set plants 30-45cm apart in rows 60-90cm apart, or 2 rows with 45cm between plants.

NOTE – 'Days to Maturity' are from transplant to green fruit.  Fruit continues to mature on the plant to red, orange, yellow, or chocolate. The flavour also sweetens as the fruit fully matures.
