Description
Our favourite chillie here at Gardeners Kitchen because of its stunning colours. It produces a mass of mini chillies about 3cm long starting at purple, yellow/orange then finishing off at red. I have known people to use them as a pot plant. (50,000-80,000 on the Scoville scale.)

Harvest

June to October (When they are swollen and glossy)

Growing

Plant 45cm apart in a sunny but sheltered position in well drained soil. They prefer to be in a greenhouse but can be grown in a pot in a conservatory or in a sunny spot on the patio but you will not get much of a crop outside. Chillies like water! Keep them well watered until established and in dry weather (but not soggy). If we have an intensely hot summer (which is rare I know) you will need to give them some shade to protect their delicate leaves. Once they reach roughly 30cm they will need staking for support as the chillies start to grow. Feed them once you see at least 2 or 3 chillies growing NOT before.

Tip

Wash your hands immediately after touching chillies. All peppers/chillies suffer from cold feet, so they are better grown in a grow bag or pot/container because they warm up quicker than soil. If you have only one chilli growing and you see no others forming, pick it, this will encourage more to grow.
