Sowing Instructions

 

Start seeds indoors from February to April, 0.5 cm deep in moist, well-drained compost. Keep in a warm, sunny spot at a temperature of 18-24°C for optimal germination. Once seedlings are strong enough, transplant them outdoors after the last frost.

 

Alternatively, sow directly outdoors once the soil has warmed. Space plants 30-40 cm apart for the best results and a plentiful harvest of fiery fruit.

 

This chilli variety brings heat and intense flavour to any dish, making it a must-have for spice lovers.
