Chilli Pepper Mirch Masala

Chilli Pepper Mirch Masala

A Jwala type chili pepper, the well branched plants are prolific croppers bearing 8cm long pendulous pungent green fruits ripening to fiery red. Originally selected for outdoor production in India, this robust variety performs well in UK.

Sow indoors from January to April, in soil 0.5 cm deep, in separate pots if possible. Pot on in late May outdoors either in containers as patio plants or in a well protected site. Peppers can be slow to germinate so allow up 35+ days. Compost should not be too moist to prevent the seeds from rotting. All chilli peppers are very sensitive to the cold.
