Purple pepper for outdoor growing, without the fuss. Oda is a very early, high-yielding variety with fruits that have a deep purple, glossy skin at the edible stage and turn brownish red when fully ripe. The plants are low-growing (35–40 cm), sturdy and exceptionally resistant to capricious weather, making this one of the most reliable peppers for growing outdoors in Central Europe—also for those who “never succeed with peppers.”
Oda is a very early, low-growing variety—the plants reach 35–40 cm, have an upright, compact habit and sturdy stems, so they do not need support. Its greatest advantage is its resistance to unfavorable conditions: it tolerates cooler nights, fluctuations in humidity and windy positions much better than large-fruited blocky peppers, which means it produces reliably outdoors even in cooler regions of the country.
The fruits are medium-sized (approx. 70–90 g), cone-shaped to blocky, with a slightly rounded tip, smooth skin and thick (5–7 mm), sweet flesh. The purple color appears very early—even young fruits are dark—and changes to brownish red when fully ripe. They can be harvested at either stage; purple fruits are crisp and decorative, while red ones are sweeter.
Sowing (March, under cover): sow the seeds in trays or plug trays, shallowly (approx. 1 cm deep), in a light growing medium. At a temperature of 18–20°C, seedlings emerge after 10–14 days.
Pricking out: when the seedlings develop their first pair of true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 7–8 cm in diameter or plug trays with 6 cm cells. Grow the seedlings at 18–20°C in a bright position, and harden them off for a week before planting out by placing them outdoors on warm days.
Planting out (second half of May): after the last frosts, plant the seedlings outdoors at a spacing of 40–50 × 40 cm; thanks to its low growth, Oda also performs very well in 7–10 l pots on balconies and patios. The soil should be fertile, moist and quick to warm up, and the position sunny.
Care: water regularly and moderately at the base; mulch; fertilize every 2 weeks with fertilizer for fruiting vegetables. The plants do not require pruning. Harvest the fruits regularly—the more often you pick them, the more new fruit sets the plants will produce, and the harvest season lasts until October.
Oda is at its best raw: purple slices in a salad, on a vegetable platter or cut into strips for dips are a true table decoration (remember that heat treatment fades the purple color to green). Ripe, brownish-red fruits are sweeter and suitable for roasting, ratatouille and preserves. The low-growing plants also thrive in pots on a balcony. Classic companions: basil, onions and marigolds.
The purple pigment (anthocyanins) develops in sunlight—fruits shaded by leaves remain partly green. If you want an even, dark color, plant Oda in the sunniest spot and do not overcrowd the plants. However, do not remove leaves that shade the fruits during hot weather: pepper skin is easily scorched by the sun.
