How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.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.
