Product Overview
Capsicum Long Yellow (Capsicum annuum) is a bright and productive capsicum variety known for its sweet flavour and vibrant golden-yellow fruit. Producing long, thick-walled peppers on strong, upright plants, it thrives in warm sunny conditions and delivers generous harvests throughout the growing season. Its compact, well-branched habit makes it ideal for garden beds, raised planters and large containers, allowing gardeners with limited space to enjoy reliable crops of colourful, flavour-packed fruit. Whether harvested young or fully mature, Long Yellow capsicums bring freshness, sweetness and visual appeal to the kitchen.
