    A very hot variety of chilli which can bite back! The long red fruits are produced mid season and can be dried after harvesting, or ground to make cayenne pepper. It forms a bushy plant with lots of branches and small leaves.

  • Garden care: Grow in a greenhouse until the temperatures rise and the frosts have passed. Keep well watered and feed regularly with high-potash tomato food once the fruits begin to form.
  • Humans/Pets: Irritant if eaten; skin/eye irritant
