Description
Capsicum annuum Afterglow Tenor F1 is an early and productive hybrid variety that produces yellow peppers with an excellent taste quality. These peppers are rather square-shaped, semi-long, and measure about 13 to 16cm (5 to 6in) wide by 9 to 10cm (4in) long. They start off green and gradually turn golden yellow. It is grown as an annual and requires heat and rich soil. Plant the plugs in March-April for a harvest from July to September.
Peppers belong to the Solanaceae family and are divided into five major species: Capsicum annuum (the most common), C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens, and C. pubescens. The fruits are initially green and take on their definitive colour during ripening: red, yellow, brown, orange, purple, etc. Their shape varies: square, elongated, semi-long, etc.
Peppers are rich in vitamins and antioxidants.
In terms of cooking, peppers are used in many cuisines around the world and can be cooked in multiple ways. Peppers can be eaten raw or cooked, stuffed, marinated, grilled, in salads, ratatouilles, etc.
They are greedy plants that require rich soil and sun.
Harvest: the harvest takes place from August to October (or from July for some early varieties). Cut the stem with secateurs or a knife.
Storage: peppers can be stored in a refrigerator for several days. They can also be frozen or dried, or even preserved in water or oil once grilled.
Gardener's tip: we recommend mulching the soil with successive layers of grass clippings, if possible mixed with dead leaves. This protection keeps the soil moist and reduces weeds. You can also opt for a mineral mulch (bricks, slate, etc.) which will help accumulate heat.
Our young plug plants are professional products reserved for experienced gardeners. Upon receipt, repot and store them under shelter (veranda, greenhouse, cold frame) at a temperature above 14°C (57.2°F) for a few weeks before being placed outdoors once the risk of frost has passed.

Planting and care
These plants require warmth. Plant in open ground in spring, after the last frost. In the meantime, you can pre-cultivate them in pots. Keep them frost-free in a very bright, lightly heated room.
In open ground
Plant in open ground when the soil is sufficiently warmed up and the risk of frost has passed. This is usually around mid-May. Choose a very sunny and sheltered location. Peppers appreciate very rich, light, and well-drained soil. Add well-rotted compost to the soil in the previous autumn.
Space the plants 50cm (20in) apart in all directions. Dig a hole (3 times the volume of the root ball), add well-rotted compost to the bottom of the planting hole. Place your plant with the graft point at ground level and cover with soil. Firmly tamp down and water.
At the beginning of cultivation, place a removable tunnel over the plants to gain a few degrees, especially in cooler regions. Hoe and gently weed as the roots are shallow. Apply mulch.
In a pot
Choose a pot that is at least 30cm (12in) deep. Place a layer of gravel or clay pebbles at the bottom of the pot to facilitate drainage. Fill the pot with a mixture of potting soil and well-rotted compost. Place the root ball and cover with soil. Firmly tamp down and water. Place the pot in the sun. Regularly add compost.
Install stakes. Water regularly at the base of the plants.
It is advisable to pinch the 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.
Plant flowers nearby that will attract pollinating insects.
In terms of rotation, wait 3 years before growing them in the same ground 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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
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 planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
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).
