Spice Chillies
Spice Chilli Plug Plants
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.
Spice-type 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, they are ideal for drying and milling into a powder. Some varieties are small-statured and very attractive, making them excellent houseplants as ‘edible ornamentals’.
