Don’t be fooled by their petite size—African Birds Eye chillies, also known as Piri Piri, bring serious fire. These fiery little fruits are a staple in African and Portuguese cooking, where they’re used fresh, dried, or turned into the legendary Piri Piri sauce. The plants are compact and prolific, producing masses of slender, red chillies with a clean, searing heat. Ideal for containers or garden beds, they’re a must-grow for lovers of spicy cuisine. Use them in marinades, stir fries, or hot sauces—but be warned, they pack a punch!

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.
