Description

A petit Padron that reaches only 25cm tall! Chilli Pepper ‘Hot Pot’ is extremely early to fruit and its compact size makes it perfect for growing in pots on a windowsill or around the base of tomato plants in the greenhouse. The small, bell-shaped peppers measure around 2.5cm by 5cm and are versatile in the kitchen – becoming spicier as they ripen – so you can harvest them at the optimal stage for your recipe. The fruit can be cooked and eaten whole – fry and blacken them in oil like Padron Peppers or stuff them with delicious fillings such as herbs, breadcrumbs and cheese. This mild hot chilli has a maximum Scoville heat rating of 5000 SHU. Height and spread: 25cm (10in).

How to Grow

Chilli peppers may be grown undercover in a greenhouse or polytunnel, or grown outdoors in a sheltered position in full sun. Small varieties can also be grown on a sunny kitchen windowsill. Pot up young plants and grow them on in warm frost free conditions. When plants are well grown transplant them into grow bags and containers, or plant them in well prepared beds of fertile, well drained soil. When growing chilli peppers outdoors, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days prior to transplanting them. Space pepper plants at a distance of 50cm (20") apart.

More Info
Water chilli pepper plants regularly throughout the growing season and feed weekly with a high potash tomato fertiliser once the first fruits have set. Taller varieties of chilli peppers may require staking. Provide a thick mulch of organic matter around the base of the plants to help conserve moisture and reduce weed growth. In greenhouses, maintain high humidity by damping down paths daily. Harvest chillies singly by cutting them from the plant with secateurs or pull the entire plant when full of red peppers, and hang upside down in the kitchen for use all year round. Chilli peppers grown outdoors must be harvested before the first frosts.
