A mid to early season chilli with a mild flavour. They form on a medium sized, bushy plant that will thrive in a big container. The fruits are often picked when they are small and green, approx 5cm long and fried in olive oil and sea salt, as in Spanish tapas, or alternatively the fruits can be left to mature and turn red.
- Garden care: Grow under glass until after the last frost and when plants reach 20cm high, pinch out the tips to encourage more side shoots (and therefore more peppers). Feed regularly with high-potash tomato feed once the fruits begin to form.
- Humans/Pets: Irritant if eaten; skin/eye irritant
