Description
Sweet pepper "Snow White" refers to the early maturing varieties. The time frame from sowing to full maturity is 4 months. The crop is intended for cultivation in a greenhouse. This variety is unsuitable for open ground.
The bushes of an adult plant are low - about 50 cm. Fruits are slightly elongated, triangular in shape, painted in a whitish-green color, and then, with the onset of a period of full maturity or biological maturity, the color changes from white to red.
The length of a mature fruit reaches 12 cm in length and up to 9 cm in diameter. The walls of the pepper are quite thick. The yield is high.
Among the advantages of the variety, its high disease resistance should also be noted.
In cooking, Snow White pepper is used for preparing vegetable salads, as well as for canning.

Growing the Snow White variety and caring for the plant includes the following components:
- timely and regular watering;
- loosening the soil;
- fertilizing the plant with mineral fertilizers;
- removal of the lower leaves before the first fork from the bush.
Storage conditions for peppers are the same as for most vegetables: air temperature from +3 to +6 and moderate humidity. A regular refrigerator is perfect for short-term storage.
