Spice Chillies
Spice Chilli Plug Plants
The spice chillies are generally small-fruited and thin-fleshed, and are usually hotter than the vegetable chillies. They are used to add heat and flavour to a dish, but contribute very little bulk. In addition, most are suitable for drying and milling into a powder. The plants of some varieties are small-statured and very attractive, making them excellent houseplants as ‘edible ornamentals’.
Plug plants are young plants grown in jiffy-7 pellets. They are sown in January or February, and will be ready for potting on when you receive them.
Ordering:
• Ordering is simple; just select what you want – there are no set packages and no minimum number.
• All plug plants are £2.75 each, except the superhots which are £3.50 each.
Delivery:
• Mail out of the plug plants will start around the third week of April 2024. Orders are processed according to the date the order was made, starting with the earliest made in October 2023.
• Packages will be sent out by first class post. The package will not fit through many letter boxes, so if necessary leave a note for the postman giving instructions on where the package should be left. We will send an email to you when your order is sent so you know to expect it the next day.
