CHILLI PEPPER PLANT COLLECTION

Hot chilli varieties can be difficult to grow from seed so buying strong plants makes perfect sense. This great collection contains the best varieties available, all delivered to you as wellestablished 9cm (3½in) potted plants. Each collection consists of one each of the following varieties:

‘BASKET OF FIRE’: A variety perfect for growing in containers and hanging baskets producing a wealth of 5-7cm (2-3in) fruits which mature from cream through to red. They pack a punch and can be used fresh or dried.

‘FUEGO’: More tolerant of the cold than many other varieties, this one is good for growing outdoors as well as in the greenhouse. The fiery fruits turn from green to bright scarlet and measure up to 15cm (6in) long.

‘TRINIDAD PERFUME’: What a really special chilli – it has an authentic, intense habanero flavour but without the searing heat! Invaluable in the kitchen, it can be used in conjunction with hot habaneros, as it allows the cook to control the heat of the dish without compromising on pungency and depth of flavour. The plants are compact and very high yielding.

Despatched from mid-May.
