Thai Red Chilli (Birds Eye Chillie)

Capsicum/Peppers are a long crop, so start sowing in early spring. We have divided our Capsicum into Chilli- or hot varieties and Sweet Peppers, perfect for salads and stir fries. All Chillies and peppers are great as container plants and add a decorative touch to patios and small gardens.

Small fiery hot peppers. Known for their heat and almost citrusy flavour. Thai chillies are used in all forms of Asian cooking to add heat without overpowering flavours. Hotter than a Jalapeno this is a staple chilli in African and Eastern dishes. Small tapered fruit are bright red when ripe.
