• Aesthetic Appeal: Glossy green foliage and colourful fruit make these plants a striking addition to patios or greenhouses.

Growing Guide & Care Tips

• Planting Location: Place in a greenhouse or on a sunny patio; chillies need warmth and light to thrive.
• Pots & Soil: Use well-draining compost in containers at least 15cm wide. Maintain soil moisture but avoid waterlogging.
• Sowing & Planting: Transplant young plants after the last frost (late spring) when night temperatures consistently exceed 10°C.
• Watering: Water regularly; do not let soil dry out completely during flowering and fruiting.
• Feeding: Apply a high-potash liquid fertiliser every two weeks from flowering onwards for best yields.

Mature Size & Fruiting

• Mature height: typically 30–60cm depending on variety.
• Crops from mid-summer through early autumn; harvest when fruits reach full colour.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Grow alongside tomatoes, basil, or peppers for a productive kitchen garden display.
• Pots can be grouped on patios or balconies to maximise space and visual impact.
