Description
The Organic 'Lipari F1' Pepper - Hybrid Bullhorn Pepper is a productive hybrid variety that produces elongated horn-shaped peppers that ripen red. It is a plant that is grown as an annual, requiring heat and a very rich soil. The plug plants of the Lipari F1 Pepper are produced using organic methods. They should be planted in March-April for a harvest from August to October.
Peppers and Chilli Peppers come from the same plant! They result from successive selections that have led to the Pepper, with its sweet flavour, and the Chilli Pepper, with its spicy taste. The heat of Chilli Peppers is measured on the Scoville scale, ranging from 0 to 10 (with 0 corresponding to the Pepper). They were introduced to Europe by Christopher Columbus and quickly spread across the world. Apart from a few varieties, peppers and chilli peppers are grown annually in our climate.
They belong to the Solanaceae family and are divided into five major species: Capsicum annuum (the most common), Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum frutescens, and Capsicum pubescens.
The fruits, initially green, will take on their final colour as they ripen: red, yellow, brown, orange, and purple... Their shape varies: square, elongated, semi-long...
Peppers and Chilli Peppers are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, including capsaicin, which is responsible for these fruits' more or less spicy flavour.
In terms of cuisine, Peppers and chilli peppers are used in many cuisines worldwide and can be cooked in multiple ways. Peppers can be eaten raw or cooked, stuffed, marinated, grilled, in salads, or ratatouilles... while chilli peppers, fresh or dried, add flavour and spice to dishes depending on their heat.
These fruit vegetables are demanding plants, requiring a very rich soil and enjoying full sun exposure.
Harvesting: The harvest takes place from August to October (or as early as July for certain varieties) by cutting the stem with pruning shears or a knife.
Storage: Peppers and chilli peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. They can also be frozen or dried.
Gardener's tip: We recommend mulching the soil with thin successive layers of grass clippings mixed with dead leaves, if possible. This protection, which keeps the soil moist, also limits weed growth. You can also opt for mineral mulch (bricks, slate, etc.) to help accumulate heat.

Planting and care
Growing Bell Peppers and chillis requires warmth. Planting is done in spring, in March-April.
First, let the plug plants grow by transplanting them into trays or 8- 13 cm (3- 5in) diameter pots filled with compost. Place them in a warm and bright location. Water regularly.
In open ground: Planting in open ground is done when the soil is warm enough, and the risk of frost has passed, around mid-May. Choose a very sunny and sheltered spot. Bell Peppers and Chillies prefer very rich, light, and well-drained soil. In the previous autumn, add well-rotted compost.
Space the plants 50 cm (20in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the plug plant), add well-rotted compost to the bottom of the planting hole, place the plug plant and cover it with soil. Firmly press down and water.
Install a removable tunnel to gain a few degrees at the beginning of cultivation, especially in cooler regions. Weed and gently hoe as the roots are shallow. Then, apply a mulch.
In pots: choose a pot that is at least 30 cm (12in) deep. Place a layer of gravel or clay balls at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of compost and well-rotted compost. Place the plug plant and cover it with soil. Firmly press down and water. Place the pot in the sun. Regularly add compost.
Install supports—water regularly at the base of the plants.
It is advisable to pinch the Chilli and Bell Pepper plants, especially in cooler regions. When the plants have 10 to 15 fruits, cut the ends of the stems one leaf above the last fruit.
In the vegetable garden, plant flowers nearby that will attract pollinating insects. In terms of rotation, wait three years before growing these Solanaceae again.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
