Fothergill's Pepper Hot Pot Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Capsicum annuum, a highly reliable, fast-maturing dwarf hot pepper variety.
• Glossy Box-Shaped Chillies: Produces high yields of uniquely plump, blocky, and thick-walled fruits that possess a beautifully glossy, eye-catching finish.
• Practical Mild-to-Medium Heat: Delivers a gentle, warming pungency rather than a scorching sting, making these juicy chillies highly versatile and suitable for the widest range of family dishes.
• Ultra-Compact Dwarf Profile: Grows into a beautifully neat, bushy, and self-supporting dwarf shape, making it an excellent space-saving solution for the garden.
• Windowsill & Patio Friendly: Its tiny footprint makes it the ultimate choice for growing as an attractive indoor plant on a bright kitchen windowsill, a warm conservatory ledge, or in compact patio containers.
• Dual-Purpose Ornamental Value: Serves as a stunning visual display as the fruits ripen on the dense green canopy, providing a burst of decorative garden color alongside a steady, edible kitchen harvest.

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 individual seedlings into small pots once they are large enough to handle, and grow them on in warm, bright, frost-free conditions.
• Transplant into final pots or window boxes. Note: While some packaging lists full shade, all chillies require maximum sunlight and warmth to thrive, ripen their fruits, and develop flavour, so be sure to position your plants in a bright, sunny spot or greenhouse.
• Water consistently to keep the compost damp but not waterlogged, and apply a high-potash tomato feed weekly once the first flowers appear.
