Sweet pepper “Snow White” refers to early ripe varieties. The time frame from sowing to full ripening is 4 months. The culture is intended for growing in a greenhouse. This variety is not suitable for open ground.
The bushes of an adult plant are low – about 50 cm. The fruits are slightly elongated, triangular in shape, painted in a whitish-light green color, and then, with the onset of a period of full maturation or biological maturity, the color changes from white to red.
The length of a mature fruit reaches 12 cm in length and up to 9 cm in diameter. The walls of the pepper are quite thick. The yield is high.
Of the advantages of the variety, its high disease resistance should also be noted.
In cooking, Snow White pepper is used to prepare vegetable salads, as well as for canning.

Growing the variety “Snow White” and caring for the plant includes the following components:
- timely and regular watering;
- loosening of the soil;
- fertilizing the plant with mineral fertilizers;
- removal of the lower leaves to the first fork from the bush.
Pepper storage conditions are the same as for most vegetables: air temperature from +3 to +6 and moderate humidity. For short-term storage, a conventional refrigerator is perfect.
