Zorza sweet pepper is an early variety of sweet peppers said to originate from Ukraine that produces dwarf plants about 40 cm high with an abundance of eye catching pale yellow white fruits weighing up to 130g with a thick and firm skin and a sweet and thick flesh. This conical-shaped sweet pepper can be eaten at any stage of ripeness so we really enjoyed tasting them as they grew. We recommend growing this pepper for the good yields, taste and beautiful pepper colours. We watched with fascination as the Zorza sweet pepper put on a magical show going from a pale green small pepper, to a beautiful white then a delicate orange to mature finally to a mat red. Seeds grown and seed saved in Cork, Ireland.
