Natalia, 44 years old, Cheboksary

I read the characteristics of the variety and I was very interested that Bucharest can be grown on the windowsill. I decided to grow a plant on the windowsill of a city apartment, since we have a summer residence. The bush grows a small, fruit of a very interesting purple hue. Of course, there was not much harvest, but until the winter he pleased us with vitamins.

Bucharest was planted in the country in the ground. They did not expect frost and did not cover the pepper. Naturally, the plants froze. But my mother and I decided not to get rid of these bushes. And they were pleasantly surprised when they all left and even pleased with the harvest.
