DESCRIPTION

‘Serafima’ is valued for its compact, open plant structure, making fruits easy to spot and harvest without fighting through dense foliage. The fruits are dark green, lightly marbled and glossy, with a clean, well-shaped look.

It also stands out for powdery mildew resistance and good autumn regeneration, helping you keep harvesting later into the season when other plants may slow down.

GROWING GUIDE

• Start indoors: sow in pots in April (one seed per pot)

• Plant out: after the risk of frost has passed (often late May / early June)

• Direct sow outdoors: once soil is warm (late May / June)

• Sow depth: 2–3 cm

• Spacing: 80–100 cm between plants

• Site: full sun, sheltered position, rich fertile soil

• Water: keep moisture steady; water at the base to reduce disease pressure

• Harvest: pick young and often (2–3x/week) to maintain continuous cropping

• Late season tip: remove a few older leaves for airflow if needed
