Our Feedback
Late July and I decided to replace a couple of plants in my flowerbed that are not earning their keep. I decided I want Fuchsias. I did a bit of research, decided on the variety I wanted and then tried to find some. Victoriana came up trumps and had the variety I was looking for, and offered reasonably priced mail order too. I was delighted when I received my plants. They are sturdy and bushy. They've been pinched back so there are lots of shoots. They were well packed and clearly were posted to avoid being in the post over the weekend in what was a very hot spell in July / August 2020. Arrived still moist and in fabulous condition. I am delighted with them. A teensy bit potbound, as to be expected at this time of year, but the lovely root system means I'm sure they'll get their roots out and grow on in no time. 100% satisfied customer; I would happily recommend Victoriana Nurseries to anyone wanting to buy a Fuchsia. These are the experts. Thank you!

How Hot Is That?...Chilli Pepper Heat Guide
Supplied as a packet of approximately 10 seeds.
This Product is Available Now.This is actually a very old Italian variety that has come to be known by the name 'Satan's Kiss' in the UK - certainly less of a mouthful than its proper name, 'Baccio Ciliegia Piccante'!
Vigorous in habit, this variety is also extremely reliable, producing heavy crops of golfball-sized fruits that mature to a deep red colour. With a lovely sweet flavour and a good kick of heat this is a Chilli which is suited to many, many dishes. In Italy it is traditionally stuffed with anchovies or mozzarella (or both) and then grilled.
Rounded fruits measure around 1½" (4 cm) in diameter. The plant itself grows to around 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) and has a strong upright habit.
