Great variety with fruity sharp, long fruits. Are first green and turn red when fully ripe. The green fruits can also be used because they are not yet as spicy as the red ones. Great for containers or greenhouse.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Chili plants can be kept as annuals outdoors or as perennial tub plants. We recommend to overwinter the plants and to keep them perennial, because especially in the second year a lush chili harvest can be expected. Press seeds into sowing soil and keep warm (approx. 24°C). Chili seeds need a lot of warmth for germination - here a heated greenhouse can be helpful. Grows well in the room. Likes sunny locations and nutritious soil.
