Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

The Capsicum 'Candy Stripe' is an eye-catching variety that produces striped, colourful bell peppers. Its fruits start as vibrant green with white and yellow stripes and mature to shades of red, making it a unique and decorative addition to garden beds or pots. Perfect for the Perth climate, 'Candy Stripe' capsicums flourish in the sun-drenched periods from Djilba (Early Spring) through to Bunuru (Late Summer), bringing both beauty and productivity to your garden or balcony.

To grow 'Candy Stripe' capsicum, plant in full sun with well-draining, fertile soil. It thrives with regular watering, keeping the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. For best results, feed with a balanced vegetable fertiliser every 4-6 weeks throughout the growing season. This variety typically takes around 70-80 days from planting to harvesting. Harvest when the fruits reach full colour and size, cutting them off the plant with a small portion of stem attached. This variety’s regular harvests encourage further fruiting, giving you a continual supply of delicious, colourful capsicums.
