Plamena Pepper
 

Have some old Plamena Pepper seed that I have managed to sprout wondering if anyone knows anything about this pepper. I did a search for it and found another search was done for it in 2006 but the search had no replies.

With a little Googling it appears to be Serbian and google shows the translation as being flame. However Plamena also appears to be a fairly common name so that translation may not be that good.

They indicate that it is a commercial pepper bred at The Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops in Novi Sad, Serbia. Given that it shows up as being used in several experiments I suspect that it is fairly common.

It's an Annum.

This also could be Plamen hot pepper variety from Moldova.

[QUOTE=Andrey_BY;335009]This also could be Plamen hot pepper variety from Moldova.[/QUOTE]I know this (the word flame) only as the name of the tomato variety Płomień. But as a pepper it has to be hot.

Plamena is from Serbia. It is a long red sweet pepper with medium thickness. By long I mean about 6 to 8 inches. Hope that helps.

Hi Henry,

I just did a check to confirm my information for Plamena and I mistook it for another Serbian variety. The correct description is a mildly hot pepper. It is from Serbia and from the picture on my packet it shows a long fairly thin, about two inch, pepper. It closely resembles a Jimmy Nardello in shape.

Sorry for the original information.

Thanks Alex, good to know what it is. Now to see if it will grow out here in my short season :]
