Chilli Pepper Bulgarian Carrot is a variety that may look like a baby carrot but be warned it can be very hot. Produces a very high yield of bright orange peppers, up to 10cm in length. Compact plant ideally suited to growing in pots.

Chilli seeds are sown early in the year, and grown in a poly-tunnel, greenhouse or sunny windowsill. Germinatation takes 10-14 days but can take longer a week or two longer if the gods are not with you! Use a soil based seedand potting-on compost. Good drainage is essential. Warmth is the key to good germination, ideally over 25°, but will germinate above 21°.

SOW:  Ideally sow February through March (can be sown later). Can be treated as a perennial.

WHERE TO SOW:  

In a small pot, sow several seeds in 5mm drills. When most of the seeds have germinated transfer into a individual larger pots. Once the plant as 5 true leaves either plant in the groud (Poly-tunnel) or in its own 20cm pot. Be careful not to allow temperatures above 35° and try not to let the plant get too dry (avoids blossom-drop and pod-drop.).
