Our Feedback
I have been using slug banish for two years now and am delighted with the results. I also have used the bio-sterilant mustard and it appears to have have made an impact on the onion white rot which has ruined my onjon and garlic for the past two years. At the present time the onions and shallots are not showing any sign of disease, and the shallots will soon be ready to harvest. I wonder if anyone else has reported this?

Originating from Brazil, this is a highly decorative variety of Chilli that really does taste as good as it looks!
1¼" (3 cm) long pear-shaped fruits start off almost white in colour before turning to yellow, then orange and finally red. Extremely heavy cropping, the fruits mature over a long period, meaning that at any one given time you will have fruits of all colours on the same plant - beautiful!
The spicy fruits have a gorgeous fruity flavour, cut with just a scent of citrus, lovely when added to stir fries and similar. This is also a great variety for drying and grinding for chilli powder.
The plants are very compact in habit, growing to around 18" (75 cm) in height with a similar spread.
To ensure good germination a constant compost temperature of 82° - 86° f (28° - 30° C) is recommended. Germination can be slow and take three weeks or more.
- Origin: Brazil.
- Heat: Extremely Hot - approximately 80,000 SHUs.
