Plant Benefits & Characteristics

• Ornamental Appeal: White blooms transform into glossy red, yellow, or orange fruits for months of visual interest.
• Culinary Use: Harvest chillies and peppers at peak ripeness to spice up salads, stir-fries, and salsas.

Growing Guide

• Sowing: Start seeds indoors from February to April for best results. Use moist, well-drained compost and keep in a warm spot (18–21°C).
• Light Requirements: Prefers full sun—place in a bright window or outdoors after the last frost.
• Mature Size: Typically grows up to 30–60cm tall in containers; compact enough for small spaces.

Planting & Care Tips

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow surface to dry slightly between waterings.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks once flowering begins.
• Harvesting: Pick fruits as they mature—chillies can be harvested green or left to ripen fully for maximum flavour.

Design & Usage Ideas

• Perfect for kitchen windowsills, patios, balconies, or conservatories.
• Combine with basil, coriander, or dwarf tomatoes for an edible container garden.
• Add pots to outdoor dining areas for fresh picking during meals.
