Thompson & Morgan Pepper Chilli Habanada 5 seed

This nearly fire-free habanero offers all the tasty tropical flavour of a standard habanero, but without the burn. A fully ripe fruit is an amazing glowing orange colour and also has its most well-developed and complex flavour.

Sow seed thinly on the surface of a good, free-draining compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator at 25-30°C (77-86°F) for up to 30 days. Reduce to 20°C (68°F) once germinated, maintaining a minimum of 15°C (59°F) after pricking out. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots.
