Gusto Purple Chili Seeds
Info: The Gusto Purple Chilli is a pretty variety with medium hot pods ripening from green to dark purple to a rich red. It is relatively early maturing and high yielding. Gusto Purple has been specifically developed for the UK climate so can be grown on outside. But keep a watch out for unseasonally cold weather & bring in if need be.
Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 21 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
You can find plenty of useful tips for successfully growing chili plants in our Chili Growing Guide and in the Chili Journal.
