Medium walled, yellow to mandarin coloured, bell shaped capsicum. ‘Spotlight Yellow’ has better early plant vigour than other yellow capsicum we have trialed. It has a heavy early fruit set of 3-5 lobed 10cm fruit. The flavour of the mature fruit is juicy with a burst of sweetness. Slightly thinner walls to ‘Golden California Wonder’ make it better for fresh eating. ‘Spotlight Yellow’ was bred by Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds.

TRANSPLANTS (recommended)- Sow seeds into shallow flats, 4 seeds/2.5cm about 8 weeks prior to transplanting. If possible, maintain soil temperatures at 27-32°C. Capsicum seeds germinate very slowly in cooler soil. When the first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 5cm cell-type containers or 10cm pots. Grow plants at approx. 21°C day and 16°C nights. Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
Transplant out after frost when the soil is warm and weather is settled. Ideal seedlings have buds, but no open flowers. Set plants 30-45cm apart in rows 60-90cm apart, or 2 rows with 45cm between plants.
NOTE – 'Days to Maturity' are from transplant to green fruit. Fruit continues to mature on the plant to red, orange, yellow, or chocolate. The flavour also sweetens as the fruit fully matures.
