Shaped like a Scottish Tam ‘o shanter, there’s really nothing Scottish about this furiously hot chilli from the Caribbean. The plants bear a heavy harvest of relatively small chillis that should be treated with the respect due to the hottest of the hot. Use it sparingly in cooking or prepare a chilli sauce to be enjoyed by lovers of the hottest of the hot. The orange bonnet chilli has a red-hot sister too. Why not plant both for a little colour variation?

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Growing peppers is easy, so direct sowing is usually fine, but for good control over your germination conditions, sowing in trays is usually a better bet. A light covering soil is all these seeds need. Then water well and only repeat when you see the soil surface starting to dry out.

    How to Harvest

    As soon as your peppers look big enough to eat, you can start to harvest them. If you want red peppers, leave them on the vine until they colour up. Cut them off with a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or a knife to avoid damage to the fruit or the plant.
