It is up to the hobby gardener to decide whether he wants to sow seeds himself or whether he prefers to use young plants right away. Seeds and young plants can either be ordered online or purchased in the local garden center. The different varieties are generally divided according to their suitability for outdoor cultivation, greenhouse cultivation or planting in flower pots on the balcony or terrace. The time of harvest varies depending on the variety. As a rule, however, the harvest can be harvested regularly from August to October, depending on the weather. The color of the peppers is the most telling when it comes to the perfect time to harvest. Our recommendation for you: Grow different varieties and label the respective plants, for example with the seed bag, in order to be able to harvest fresh peppers for as long as possible. The seed packets usually have a sample image showing the perfect coloring for harvest time.

The numerous types of peppers differ mainly in taste, colour, shape, cultivation outdoors or in a greenhouse and in the harvest time.
