It has dark foliage and the small, upright-growing chillies, which ripen from black-purple to orange to red, display a beautiful play of colors. The chillies have a medium heat and are suitable for fresh consumption, seasoning, cooking and drying. The plants are relatively small and are also suitable as houseplants.

Growing tips

The germination temperature is between 22 and 28°C/72-82°F (8 - 21 days germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilized, well-drained soil and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be placed in a full sun, sheltered spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight, preferably more. Place the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
