Also known as Lemon Drop Chillies, Aji Limon is an authentic South American original. It's reasonably hot with a twist of citrus to the flavour. Use your chilli harvest in white meat curries or dry and grind them to enjoy as a spice. The plants have a slightly drooping habit which makes them suitable for a large hanging basket - a handy space-saver for those of us who garden in a limited area. Recognized as a heavy bearer, each plant will produce plenty of 6 to 8cm fruits.

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.
