Basket of Fire Chilli Plant

A prolific fruiting and ornamental chilli plant with many colours of small chillies fanning out from the compact bushy foliage. Each chilli points upwards in a variety of colours ripening from white through purple to red, yellow, and orange. A very attractive plant for your patio or decking and the chillies also pack a punch with reasonable heat and fruity flavour.

Perfect for baskets and containers as it will trail a little and it has good tolerance to cooler temperatures so ideal for our unpredictable UK weather! 

Heat Rating : 80,000 Scoville Units. What is a scoville unit?

Chillies will do fine with a little tomato feed or Chilli Focus once a week which you can find in most garden centres or online. We're currently having a go at growing completely organically, using living soil, which is proving to be very interesting!

We'll post more about it on our website soon.

Happy Growing!
