Small, round – a completely different shape. Coral stands out among hot peppers – its fruits are round (2–3 cm), not elongated like typical chili. When ripe, they are intensely red, shiny like coral beads. Great for stuffing with cheese, baking, and drying, and the bush with scattered red “balls” is simply an ornamental plant.

What makes this variety special
Coral is a mid-early variety with an exceptionally decorative appearance. The bush is compact (40–60 cm), with a straight, stiff stem branched at the top. Numerous, round, bright fruits look like decorative balls hanging on a green bush – an ideal plant for a large balcony pot combining utility and ornamental value.
Step-by-step cultivation
Sowing (March, under cover): sow seeds into trays or pallets at 22–25°C. Germination after 10–14 days.
Pricking out: transplant seedlings into 7–8 cm pots after the first pair of leaves appear.
Planting (second half of May): into the ground or pots (min. 5 l) with 40 × 40 cm spacing. Also grows well in containers on the balcony.
Care: regular watering, fertilize every 2 weeks. Thanks to stiff stems, staking is usually not necessary.
Usage
A classic for stuffing with cheese and baking – the round shape is perfect for this. Also recommended for pickling in vinegar (like spicy pickled olives), for sauces and salsa. Thick walls make it suitable for drying. Plus, a decoration in a pot.
Gardener's tip
Coral is so decorative that it can be grown as an annual ornamental plant in pots on the terrace or in balcony boxes. For contrast, plant it with ornamental grasses or white flowers – the red “balls” against the gray-green grasses look phenomenal throughout August and September.
