Yes! This is the original Mexican pepper that gives the world-famous Tobasco Sauce its flavour. Slice it up spice your favourite hot dishes, infuse it in vinegar, or try your hand at making that renowned sauce. Still too many peppers? It's no surprise since these plants just keep producing as long as the weather is hot. Dry them to make chilli powder! Nothing needs to go to waste! Grow these beauties where they can soak up the sunshine, and enjoy that distinctive flavour.

  • 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.
