Description: Born from a passionate project and meticulous selection, the William Prescott variegated pepper embodies the mixing of expertise, patience, and creativity. This cultivar is very uncommon, the result of several rigorous crosses and a long stabilization process. William Prescott Variegated pepper is as gorgeous as it is truly delicious.
Its variegated green and white foliage brightens the rows, while its upright habit, sometimes enhanced by light pruning, adds attractive structure to the space. It appreciates warmth and well-warmed soil, where it develops elongated fruits that are initially green with white stripes, which then turn a vibrant orange adorned with cream stripes.

Growing in Containers: Well-suited to larger pots; minimum 20 cm (8").
Fertilizing (Containers): Feed with an organic veggie fertilizer such as Evolve Tomato 3-2-2 through the season.
Watering (Containers): Water deeply and evenly - very important! Peppers will fruit poorly if plants dry out excessively... even once.
Growing in Mixed Planters: Well-suited for larger mixed planters. For productive fruiting, allow 20 cm of space per pepper in a mixed planter.
Fertilizing (Garden): Plant in a garden recently amended with compost. Weekly application of kelp supplement is associated with greater fruit set and improved late-season cold-tolerance in peppers.
Watering (Garden): Water deeply to establish. Water mature plants weekly during hot weather.
Suitability for Indoors: May be grown as a specialized crop indoors.
Exposure: Brightest window (May - September) or grow lights (October - April).
What about Grow Lights? T5 or 26 - 54w CFL full spectrum lights are ideal.
General Indoor Care: Start fresh seeds in late summer or fall for indoor growing. Peppers can be prone to aphids when grown indoors, so rinse plants regularly under fast flowing fresh water (easy organic aphid control!). Fertilize every 14 - 21 days when growing under lights, using an organic veggie food such as Evolve Tomato 3-2-2. Bell Peppers typically remain productive for about 6 months indoors.
