Chilli Pepper – Firecracker
Packs a punch but with an amazing fruit flavour
Firecracker is a compact chilli plant that forms clusters of small, bright, multi-coloured fruits, that always turn red when fully ripe. As the name suggests, this is one of our hottest chillies. They have a good kick but the amazing fruity flavour is never overpowered by the heat. The fruits grow to approximately 9-10cm in length. It’s very easy to grow chillies using our plug plants – just plant them in a greenhouse or in a sunny, sheltered part of your plot and follow the advice in the growing guide that arrives with your plants.
