Pepper Victoria

Our domestic selection has presented gardeners with quite a lot of successful varieties, distinguished by excellent taste and a rich harvest. But even among them, one can single out varieties that have been in special demand among gardeners in our country for many years. These are the undisputed leaders of the sweet pepper variety Victoria.

Victoria

Characteristics of the variety

Plants of the Victoria variety have compact, semi-sprawling, standard-shaped bushes with a maximum height of up to 60 cm. They are perfect for growing in small greenhouses and film beds.

Victoria

Victoria sweet pepper belongs to the early maturing varieties. Its fruits reach technical maturity in about 110 days from the moment the first shoots appear. The period of biological maturity of these peppers is easy to determine by their color: it changes from light green to deep red. The fruit is shaped like a cone with a slightly ribbed surface. Their length will not exceed 11 cm, and their weight will be about 60 grams. The wall thickness will be in the range from 4 to 7 mm.

Victoria

The pulp of the fruit stands out. She is incredibly juicy and sweet. Despite its special tenderness, it is perfect for canning.

Advice! Victoria sweet peppers are best consumed fresh. Only with this use all useful vitamins and minerals are preserved.

This variety is cold hardy, making it ideal for growing in our climate. In addition, plants are not afraid of black rot and other common diseases of sweet pepper. The yield of plants can reach 7 kg per square meter.

Growing recommendations

Like other sweet peppers, Victoria is grown in seedlings. Seeds are planted for seedlings in the month of February.

After 8-10 weeks from the appearance of the first shoots, the finished seedlings can be planted in a permanent place. As a rule, this period falls on May - early June. Victoria is perfect for both greenhouses and open ground. At the same time, it can perfectly adapt to any, even the most difficult soils.

Important! Despite the fact that Victoria pepper is cold-resistant, when planting in open ground, it is worth waiting for the end of the frost.

Plants should be planted no more often than every 50 cm. Victoria has one more feature: all side shoots and leaves must be removed from its plants before the first fork in the trunk. If this is not done, the bush will begin to branch strongly and build up green mass instead of fruits.

Victoria plants should be looked after in the same way as for any other variety of sweet pepper, namely:

  • water regularly;
  • weed;
  • loosen;
  • fertilize.

Harvested from July to September. At the same time, it is rather well stored and transported.

Every year, many gardeners and gardeners choose Victoria for planting on their plots, and this is perhaps the best calling card.

Testimonials

Irina, 37 years old, Strunino
I bought these seeds on the advice of a neighbor. I planted the seeds in February, and they almost all sprouted. Since other peppers occupied the entire greenhouse, Victoria was planted in an ordinary garden bed. I thought the harvest would be poor, but I was wrong. The fruit set was excellent. They were not very large in size, but there were many of them. They taste juicy and meaty. I will definitely buy these seeds as well.
Love, 32 years old, Kirov
I plant Victoria in a greenhouse along with other peppers. The bushes are medium in size, but can be highly branching. She always bears excellent fruit. I really like that the fruits can be stored perfectly. Their flesh is rather sweet and very juicy. I recommend the variety.
