A key benefit of Zappa is the attractive cropping season – between Sonsation and Malwina.
The red, conic berries are of a very good size and appealing appearance, and a high proportion are Class 1. They have a firmness and attractive gloss that ensure they meet key marketability quality requirements.
It is recommended that fresh plants and fresh potted plants should be planted in the first two weeks of August. Planting distance should be about 40 cm when planted very early and 35 cm when planted later.
Thanks to its very good plant health and vigorous growth, Zappa is particularly suitable for growing as an annual.
Prior to the cropping period, particular attention needs to be paid to the possibility of mildew.
A key feature is that the flowers are positioned below the foliage, providing better protection from late frosts.
