Pepper, Etiuda

The Etiuda looks like a "traditional" bell pepper except that she's a little bit smaller, and a whole lot sweeter.  When you let her mature, she rewards you with a vivid, bright orange coloring.  Produces tons of blocky, thick-walled fruit throughout the season. The flavor is sweet like candy when fully ripe and even the under-ripe (ahem, green) is sweeter than most.   Etiuda is an open pollinated variety that was developed in Poland.  Generally we don't stake our bell peppers, but this variety can get a little top heavy, so we'd recommend some sort of support.  Plants grow 18 - 24" in height.  And, if you haven't noticed our love of purple and orange combinations in the garden, we LOVE this planted next to Purple Basil!!!  Favorite Plant Color Combos:  Etiuda Pepper + Purple Basil  Etiuda Pepper + Sunrise Bumblebee Cherry Tomato  Etiuda Pepper + Baltic Red Kale Easy to grow!  Thrives in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil.  Mulching at base of the plant helps retain soil moistu
