Originating in Eastern Europe, the Gogosar pepper is a living legacy of Romanian peasant gardens, where it has been cultivated for decades for its bounty and hardiness. Its compact plant bears large, flattened, deeply ribbed fruits that ripen slowly, changing from green to deep red to signal their full maturity.

In a harmonious garden, it establishes itself as a reassuring presence. It thrives in warm spaces, rich and well-drained soil, and flourishes in simple conditions, requiring no special pruning. Its compact habit makes it easy to grow even in smaller vegetable gardens, while its discreet flowering heralds an abundant harvest. It is a faithful and reliable variety, embodying the connection between living soil and home cooking.
