Pepper (Chilli) Bishops Crown Seeds

The plants have an open habit and carry a good crop of exotically shaped chillies that are reminiscent of a bishop's hat. The bright red chillies have a crisp texture, a sweet pleasant flavour and only a mild pungency. They are great to eat raw as an edible decoration in salads or a cold buffet.

Sow indoors from December to March, in soil 0.5 cm deep, in separate pots if possible. Pot on in late May outdoors either in containers as patio plants or in a well protected site. Peppers can be slow to germinate so allow up 35+ days. Compost should not be too moist to prevent the seeds from rotting. All chilli peppers are very sensitive to the cold.
