Capsicum annuum
CAPSICUM-SWEET CHOCOLATE is a lovely, sweet, chocolate-brown colored heirloom capsicum. Any capsicum that looks so different from the classic green should have a unique taste & the chocolate bell doesn’t disappoint. They start out green & look just like other capsicums in the garden, but then the fruit starts to turn deep chocolate brown as it ripens. The flesh inside is crispy, sweeter than a classic bell pepper and dark red in color. The sweet taste and deep color inside & out make this capsicum ideal for dressing up a summer salad.
Crops well & tolerates cool nights, easy to grow, tastes fantastic and looks stunning. I use liquid fertilizer once germinated & transplant when all danger of frost has passed & the soil is warm. Plants usually reach about 60cm in height. Keep well fertilized and watered. Pick early fruit green to encourage more fruiting.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
