Chilli Pepper Basket of Fire F1 | Hot Chilli

An attractive, compact and decorative chilli pepper, prolific and perfect for picking as well as admiring from a safe distance cascading from containers and hanging baskets! Small hot fruits mature from deep purple through yellow and orange to bright, scarlet red to create a conflagration of colour. The hot, spicy fruits are fleshy and edible. As with all chilli peppers, always wear gloves when handling the pods. Growing instructions: Sow indoors - February to May. Sow 1cm deep in trays or alternatively two seeds per pot selecting the strongest seedling. Use multi purpose compost, to cover seeds. Plant out in a greenhouse April to June, or outdoors in a patio pot over the summer. When plants reach 20cm high, pinch out the tips to encourage more side shoots and therefore more peppers. Feed regularly with high-potash tomato feed once the fruits begin to form. Sow: February to May Harvest: July to October
