Fothergill's Pepper Hot Havana Gold Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Capsicum baccatum, a vigorous, branchy, and heavy-fruiting hot pepper variety.
• Habanero Flavour with Half the Heat: Specially bred for gourmet cooking, providing the distinctively sweet, fruity, and smoky notes of a true habanero but with a fraction of the intense sting.
• Attractive Golden Fruits: Generates a massive, eye-catching crop of uniquely creased, lantern-shaped peppers that ripen from a light green to a rich, brilliant gold-orange.
• Excellent Preservation Profile: Incredibly versatile in the kitchen; the thick-walled, juicy fruits are perfect for fresh salsas, drying for homemade spice flakes, or freezing whole for winter use.
• Vigorous Growth Habit: Develops a robust, well-branched, and highly productive framework that responds beautifully to the warmth of a greenhouse, polytunnel, or sheltered patio.
• Rewarding Allotment or Pot Crop: Thrives equally well when planted directly into greenhouse borders or when grown as a statement specimen in large patio containers.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors from late winter to mid-spring in pots or seed trays of moist compost, maintaining a constant, warm propagator temperature of 20–25°C for optimal germination.
• Prick out individual seedlings into small pots once they are large enough to handle, growing them on in bright, warm, and frost-free conditions.
• Transplant to final pots or greenhouse borders in a position with full sun, support the heavy, fruit-laden branches with sturdy stakes, and apply a high-potash tomato feed weekly once flowering begins.
