Fothergill's Pepper Hot Chilli Shake Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum, a highly versatile and heavy-cropping hot pepper mixture.
• Exciting Mixed Colourway: Produces a spectacular kaleidoscope of ripening fruits, shifting through brilliant greens, bright yellows, deep oranges, and striking, fiery reds.
• A Spectrum of Heat: Features a diverse selection of chillies with varied Scoville ratings, offering everything from mild, everyday culinary heat to intensely fiery, super-hot varieties.
• Diverse Shapes & Sizes: Generates a fascinating mix of fruit profiles, including long slender cayennes, blunt jalapeno types, blocky habaneros, and tiny, upright bird's-eye pods.
• Exceptional Greenhouse Performance: While these plants produce their absolute heaviest, earliest, and most prolific crops when grown under protection glass or polytunnels, they also perform remarkably well outdoors.
• Container Friendly Asset: Grows with a neat, decorative, and bushy habit that makes it a spectacular, colourful addition to sunny patios, balconies, or bright kitchen windowsills.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors from late winter to mid-spring in pots or seed trays of moist seed compost, maintaining a constant warm temperature of 20–25°C for optimal germination.
• Prick out and pot on the young seedlings individually into larger containers, growing them on in bright, frost-free conditions until they are ready to plant into greenhouse borders or move outdoors.
• Position in full sun, provide a short cane for structural support as the heavy fruits develop, and water regularly—adding a high-potash tomato feed once the first flowers appear.
