Description

Chilli Pepper ‘Padron’ is famous for its use in the delicious Spanish tapas dish -  picked immature and green, then fried in olive oil and served with salt. At this stage the young fruit are tender and can be eaten whole, although the odd pepper may surprise you with a spicier kick than the rest! If the peppers are left to ripen to red, they gain a mild heat of around 8,000 SHU and can be used for spicier dishes. A vigorous and productive variety, Chilli Pepper ‘Padron’ will keep cropping if you pick the fruits when green and immature. Height: 1.2m (47in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

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.
