This highly productive bright red, teardrop chilli hails from Brazil where the name translates and ‘Little Beak’. The relatively mild heirloom chillies hang from the plant like little lanterns and with their smoky sweet flavour are perfect for preserving. They may take a little longer to germinate than some others, but are worth the wait!
Tender perennial, will require protection in winter or treat as an annual.
Average 20 seeds.

An early start can help increase your harvest as pepper plants can be slow to mature. Start under grow lights in January or late February without lights. Requires warmth to germinate and grow on (an unheated greenhouse will not be warm enough). When pepper plants reach about 20cm in height, pinch out the growing tip to encourage bushy growth. From pinching out time, feed weekly with a quarter strength organic feed.
Continue to pot on each time roots appear out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot until planting out after last frost. Peppers love heat, so will always perform best in the greenhouse or polytunnel.
