Pepper Jericho F1 Grafted Vegetable Plants

Pepper Jericho F1 Grafted Vegetable Plants are big-cropping sweet peppers producing thick-walled fruits measuring 15–18cm (6–7in) in length. The fruits ripen from green to red and are perfect enjoyed fresh or used for stuffing, making them a versatile addition to the kitchen garden.

Grafted vegetable plants offer gardeners greater vigour and much more resistance to soil-borne pests and diseases, such as nematodes – particularly useful if you grow in greenhouse border soil each year, where crop rotation is somewhat limited. The grafting process brings together the best attributes of two different plants – a species rootstock and a hybrid variety.

The hybrid variety is grafted to the species rootstock to produce plants which are strong and vigorous, which in turn produce more fruits and heavier yields. Although traditionally greenhouse grown, we have found over recent years that, when placed in a warm and sunny position, they will also crop well outdoors – even more reason to grow them.

Supplied as well-established plants in 9cm pots. Please note – do not remove the plastic grafting clip. It will fall off naturally as the plant grows.
