MATURE CHILLI PLANTS
PLEASE NOTE:
The 2026 season for mature plants will start in July.
Mature Chilli Plants
The chilli plants are grown in 1 litre pots. Most of the varieties we offer are very attractive plants, and suitable as house or conservatory plants. They can be kept in the 1 litre pot, or if you want a bigger plant, can be repotted into something larger. They are, of course, all fully edible.
Plants of the superhots – Dorset Naga, Bengle Naga, Moruga Scorpion (aka Trinidad Scorpion) and Carolina Reaper – need to be re-potted into a larger pot. These varieties are naturally large plants and are not suitable as ornamental houseplants. Be careful, these plants produce incredibly hot chillies and should not be kept anywhere near children.
All chilli plants should be kept in a sunny, warm environment (sunny windowsill, conservatory, greenhouse or polytunnel).
The plants are packed in “blister packs” made specifically for the job. Depending on the size of the order and which variety(ies) you order the plant(s) will be sent out either by Royal Mail or by courier. The packages WILL NOT fit through a letter box, so if delivery might be an issue please leave a note for the postman/delivery person. Please note: the plants must NOT be left in the sun when they are in their packaging.
