Fireball Chilli Seeds
Info: The Fireball chilli belongs to the Scotch Bonnet chilli variety and thus to the hot chilli family.
At first bite, Fireball seduces with a sweet moment followed by a scorching heat. The Fireball is excellently suited for for pickling or for spicy dishes that need a little more heat. The robust plants bear heavy, approx. 4 cm large and wide, strawberry-shaped fruits that are initially deep green and shiny and turn fiery red when ripe.
Care: The germination temperature is between 22 und 28°C (7 - 20 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.
