Thompson & Morgan National Trust Range Chilli Pepper Fresno Mix F1 Hybrid 8 seed

Fun to grow, early to flower, set and ripen, these chilis can be slightly hotter than jalapeños when fully ripe (Scoville Unit 2,500 to 10,000). Fruits are conical and tapering (approx. 3cm (1in) across and 7cm (2½in) long) and grow pointing upwards.

Sow seed on the surface of a good, free-draining damp seed compost and cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container in a polythene bag and keep at 25°C (77°F) until after germination which takes up to 14 days. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Reduce temperature and maintain at 15°C (59°F). For Indoor Crops: Plant 2 plants per growbag or individually into 20cm (8in) pots or 2 litre pot. For optimum results grow under glass. Support with a cane.
