Product information

Pepper - Chilli Fiery Tongues F1


Fiery Tongues F1 Chilli Pepper is a must-have for any spice lover. These semi-erect plants produce up to 30cm long curly fruits that ripen from green to a deep red with a glossy sheen and wrinkled tops. With a heat level of 28,000 Scoville heat units, Fiery Tongues F1 adds a kick to any dish. Ideal for gardens, these chilli peppers combine striking appearance with impressive heat, making them a fantastic addition to your spice collection.
Handy Tip: These chillies can also be grown in containers in a greenhouse or on a sunny patio, moving plants inside in the autumn to finish ripening.

Pepper - Chilli Gourmet Jalapeno


Gourmet Jalapeno Chilli Pepper is a popular and versatile Mexican chilli that can be enjoyed both green and red. When ripe, these thick-walled fruits can remain on the plant for several weeks without deteriorating. Moderately hot, they are often stuffed with cream cheese before cooking. Producing a good crop over a long season, they are a great addition to any garden.
Handy tip: To free up space in the greenhouse, move containers outside to a patio once all risk of frost has passed. In autumn, move back undercover to ripen any remaining fruits.

Pepper - Chilli Scotch Bonnet Red


Scotch Bonnet Chilli's are not for the faint-hearted, boasting a Scoville Heat Unit rating of around 350,000! Despite their small size (2.5-4cm long and 2-3cm wide), these chilli's pack a punch with intense heat and a strong aroma. To reduce the spice, consider removing the seeds. Originating from Jamaica, Scotch Bonnet Chilli's are a staple in Caribbean cooking. The bushy plants reach heights of around 50cm, making them an excellent addition to any garden for those seeking to add a fiery touch to their dishes.
Handy Tip: Seeds and fruits are extremely hot, handle with care and do not rub eyes during sowing or food preparation. Gloves are recommended when handling seeds and fruits. We don't recommend growing hot chilli's on a windowsill as they need a constant temperature.

Pepper - Chilli Tabasco


Tabasco Chilli Pepper is one of the world's most recognised chillies, serving as the main ingredient in the famous Tabasco sauce. These chilli's are unique as the fruits grow upwards, resembling an upright bush that can reach heights of around 1 metre. The small fruits, measuring 2.5-3cm long by 1cm wide, transition in colour from light yellow to green to orange, before fully ripening to red. With a Scoville heat rating of 30,000 - 50,000 SHU, Tabasco chilli's add a spicy kick to any dish. Perfect for garden enthusiasts looking to cultivate their own fiery ingredients.
Handy Tip: Plants can be tall, to help support the weight of the crop it is best to tie plants to some canes as they grow.
