Thompson & Morgan

Introducing the Chilli Pepper 'Hot Pot', a compact and mild variety perfect for growing in pots, on windowsills, or in any small garden space. This Padron-type chilli produces small, bell-shaped fruits that develop a mild heat as they ripen, allowing you to control the flavour intensity. With an early cropping habit, you can enjoy a generous harvest sooner than with many other varieties. Standing at just 25cm tall, 'Hot Pot' is an excellent companion plant for taller crops or a fantastic space-saving option for kitchens and balconies. The fruits, with a maximum heat of 5000 SHU, offer a gentle warmth and delicious flavour, making them versatile for various culinary uses. Try frying them whole like traditional Padron peppers or stuffing them with your favourite savoury fillings. How to Grow: - Light: Full sun or a bright indoor spot. - Temperature: Keep plants in a warm location and protect from frost. - Watering: Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. - Feeding: Apply a weekly feed of tomato fertiliser once fruits begin to set. - Humidity: For greenhouse cultivation, mist the plants or damp down paths to increase humidity. Included Variety: Chilli Pepper 'Hot Pot' - Features small, bell-shaped mild chillies with a compact growth habit and a maximum heat level of 5000 SHU.
