I’m not completely sure of the variety of this chilli, but it’s one my dad has been growing for years, so it’s known to me simply as ‘dad’s’. It’s a nice, compact plant that does well in pots, and is highly productive. The most prolific chilli I’ve grown.
This plant produces small, glossy chillies around 3-4 cm in length with medium heat. We got around 150 chillies from a happy, overwintered plant. Sharing the seeds here if you’d like to give them a go as well!
Harvested chillies can be frozen to use later, or alternatively dehydrated and stored in the pantry.
15 seeds hand-saved from my garden to yours.
