Chilly Chili F1 Pepper – Patio Collection (Capsicum annuum) , offered by the seed company WH Perron
Chilly Chili F1 is a unique ornamental variety, perfect for home gardens. Unlike traditional chillies, this one is mild, as its heat has been eliminated through crossbreeding, making it safe for children and those who prefer milder chillies. The long, narrow fruits turn from bright yellow to orange and then bright red when ripe, creating a beautiful colour gradient on the plant. Heat tolerant, it performs exceptionally well even in demanding climates.

Transplant the seedlings into full sun, well-drained, compost-enriched soil after all danger of frost. Space the plants 30-45cm apart for optimum growth.
Ideal for growing in pots or flowerbeds, Chilly Chili F1 combines beauty and utility. With its sweet fruits, it is perfect for light recipes or to add a decorative touch to your dishes. This vibrant ornamental pepper will beautify your outdoor spaces while offering a fun and safe harvest.
