• Unique Appearance: Produces striking, porcelain-white fruits that offer a clean and sophisticated look compared to traditional purple varieties.

• Compact Habit: The naturally tidy and upright growth habitat makes this variety perfect for growing in pots and containers on a sunny patio.

• Culinary Qualities: The white flesh is delicate and delicious, making it a "must-have" for authentic Mediterranean and Asian-inspired dishes.

Care Instructions:

• Sowing: Sow seeds indoors from February to May in a propagator or on a warm windowsill; maintain a temperature of 18–21°C for the best germination.
• Potting On: Transplant seedlings into individual 7.5cm pots once they are large enough to handle, ensuring they stay in a frost-free, bright environment.
• Positioning: Move to a final sunny, sheltered spot or greenhouse in June once the weather has reliably warmed.
• Feeding & Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Apply a high-potash liquid fertiliser every two weeks once the first fruits begin to set.
• Harvesting: Pick when the fruits are approximately 15-18cm long and the skin is still glossy for the best texture and flavour.
