Chilli Pepper Caliente Red (Capsicum frutescens)
Approximately 25 seeds per packet.
Growing: chilli peppers grow best in a warm, sunny location. A greenhouse is ideal, or you can grow in a container on a south-facing patio, or alternatively in a 13cm (5 inch) pot on a windowsill. In the case of Caliente Red, the final size of the plant will depend on the size of the pot; grown in a smaller pot, plants will stay small and compact; grown in soil in the greenhouse
plants will spread out and become larger.
Sowing: sow onto a seed compost from March to May.
Germinate at 22°C (72°F). Prick out into cell units when ready. Grow on at a night minimum temperature of 15° - 18°C (60-64°F). Temperatures below 7°C can cause plant damage. Grow in full sun but avoid water on leaves in bright conditions to avoid scorch.
