Mr Fothergill's Vegetable Seeds Pepper Hot Chilli Shake - 30 Seeds

A wide range of colours, shapes and sizes. Different levels of heat, from mild to super hot. The biggest crops are produced in the greenhouse but also grows well outdoors

Sow & Grow:

For greenhouse crops, sow thinly indoors, February-April, 0.5cm (¼") deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist.

Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions.

Plant out May-June, to large pots, growing bags or into warm, well-drained soil in the greenhouse border.

For outdoor crops: delay indoor sowing until March or April.

Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 40cm (16") apart, when frosts are over.

Choose a warm, sunny, sheltered spot. Outdoor crops will be smaller and later than those in a greenhouse.

Harvest: July-October.

Hints & Tips:

Gently spray flowers with tepid water to encourage fruit to set. Feed regularly once flowers have formed.
