Chilie Pepper ‘Pardon’ compact chillie plant will produce lots of small chillies with a mild heat if picked early, if left on to grow will intensify the heat.

Padron Chilli Pepper

(Also known as Pimientos de Padrón)

A classic Spanish tapas favourite, this compact chilli plant produces an abundance of small, mild peppers – perfect for frying, stuffing, or adding to stir-fries. Traditionally celebrated in the town of Padrón, Spain, these chillies are usually picked young for a gentle heat. Leave them to ripen longer, and they’ll pack more of a punch!


Harvest:

June to October – Pick when fruits are swollen, glossy, and green.


Growing Instructions:

  • Spacing: Plant 45cm apart.

  • Position: A sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil is ideal.

  • Best Results: Grow in a greenhouse or conservatory. They’ll grow outdoors in pots on a sunny patio, but yields may be lower.

  • Watering: Keep well-watered during dry spells and while establishing, but avoid waterlogging.

  • Shade: In very hot weather, provide light shade to protect tender leaves.

  • Support: Once plants reach around 30cm, stake them to support the growing fruit.

  • Feeding: Start feeding only once 2–3 chillies have formed – not before.


Top Tips:

  • Handle with care: Always wash your hands after handling chillies.

  • Warmth matters: Chillies dislike cold soil – pots or grow bags warm up faster than open ground and help boost growth.

  • Encourage fruiting: If only one chilli forms and no others appear, pick it – this often stimulates the plant to produce more.
