Fothergill's Pepper Hot Fields of Fire Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum, a robust, highly decorative, and heavy-cropping hot pepper.
• Medium-Hot Punch (38,000 SHU): Produces plenty of vibrant fruits packed with a satisfying, medium-hot kick—registering around 38,000 Scovilles—perfect for adding instant warmth to everyday cooking.
• Stunning Ornamental Display: The upright, multi-colored fruits mature through a striking spectrum of shades, creating a spectacular "field of fire" visual effect against the green foliage.
• Compact, Rounded Habit: Grows into a naturally neat, bushy, and dome-shaped plant, eliminating the need for extensive staking or spacious garden plots.
• Ideal for Indoors & Patios: Its compact footprint makes it a superb choice for a sunny kitchen windowsill, a warm conservatory, or mixed container displays on a sunny patio.
• Sun-Loving & High Yielding: While it crops reliably in a sheltered, sun-baked outdoor spot, it thrives on maximum warmth and light, meaning your absolute heaviest harvests will be achieved in a greenhouse.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors from late winter to mid-spring in trays of moist seed compost, keeping them in a warm propagator at a steady 20–25°C for quick, reliable germination.
• Prick out seedlings individually into small pots once they are large enough to handle, growing them on in bright, frost-free, and warm conditions.
• Transplant to final pots or greenhouse beds in full sun, water consistently to avoid soil drying out, and apply a high-potash tomato feed weekly once the first flowers appear.
