{"product_id":"citrina-pepper","title":"Citrina Pepper","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost sweet peppers give you one decision to make: pick green for crunch, or wait weeks for colour. Citrina gives you three stages worth eating. The pods start pale green and crisp with a faint grassy bite, ripen to a lemon yellow at full sweetness, then deepen to red if you leave them longer. The yellow stage is what the variety was bred for and what gives it the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a Lamuyo type, conical and pendulous rather than blocky, around 140g a pod, with thick crunchy walls and very sweet flesh. The plant is compact at about 60cm, sits happily in a 25 to 30cm pot, stays upright without much staking, and comes to first ripe fruit in around 70 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe useful thing is that you do not have to commit. Take a few at green to lighten the plant and encourage more setting, let the bulk run through yellow for everyday cooking, and leave a last few to red for stuffing and slow roasting. It sets fruit without needing the consistently hot nights the big blocky bells demand, which is why it crops reliably in a British greenhouse or on a sheltered patio where those often disappoint.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bishy Barnabees Cottage Garden Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56262805946753,"sku":"sku-57334316695929","price":2.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/smallindoorplants.co.uk\/products\/citrina-pepper","provider":"Small Indoor Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
