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).

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.
Caution: irritant to skin and eyes
