See more about BIG! Chilli Pepper Seed Collection - 10 Varieties!

Great Value Chillies! Here is our BIG chilli pepper collection - 10 varieties individually packaged. 10 seeds (minimum) supplied per variety. Descriptions of each variety are shown below. We have cultural instructions available via e-mail, upon request. Please just contact us if you need them. If you need any additional help, just ask - we've been growing chillies for over a decade now. Remember that most chillies can be grown as houseplants, and if looked after, can live for 5 years or longer. Those grown outside will only last until the first frost. As always, any questions, please ask before bidding. 1. Big Jim - The largest New Mexican type; producing pods up to 30cm long and 6cm wide. The pods are of a slightly flattened shape, and mature from green to red. The plant grows to a height of 60cm. A medium to hot variety. 2. Hot Banana - This is a large, thick-skinned pepper, that is relatively mild. It is a hungarian wax-type - the sort you find in your kebabs on a Friday night. They are ideal pickled and can be eaten raw. 3. Scotch Bonnet Yellow- A super-hot variety (a member of the habaneros). So-called because the peppers resemble a tom o'shanter (a traditional scottish hat). The plant can be grown in a grow bag and grows up to a height of 1.5m. However, if grown in a pot inside, it's growth will be restricted. Matures from green to yellow. 4. Cayenne - A great pepper for the complete novice. It is the typical finger shaped chilli, with a good heat (about 8/10). It can be easily dried by hanging in an airing cupboard, or putting in an oven on the lowest setting. 5. Jalapeno - The typical pepper used in North America for chilli-eating competitions. They are fantastic stuffed with sour cream, battered in breadcrumbs and then deep-fried. Yummy! 6. Congo Black - This is an ULTRA rare variety due to some bad crops in recent years -  a black habanero-type pepper. HOT HOT HOT! I have a limited supply of these seeds , so this is a great addition to the collection. 7. Tabasco - The actually variety used to make the Lousiana hot sauce. It is another ideal bedding plant, being about 1 foot in height. It is very prolific in cropping and will have several colours of pepper on it at any one time (red, orange, yellow and green), as it continues to produce more fruit as the older ones are still ripening. 8. Tepin - The hottest chilli in the world (not to be confused with Scotch Bonnets - the hottest cultivated pepper in the world). It is a wild variety and produces small round berries on small plants. DO NOT allow children or animals to play with or eat these plants. Even handling the seeds can make the skin tingle. Be aware that these seeds are erratic in germination and can take twice as long to sprout (up to 2 months) because they are wild, not cultivated. Please be patient. 9. Habanero Orange -A great main-stay of Jamaican cookery. Very hot with a lovely flavour (people often forget peppers have different flavours, as well as heat). Grows up to 1.5m in height so can be grown in the garden to conceal any ugly compost bins, fences etc etc. (Grow in a grow bag and put infront of your wheelie bins!) 10. Aji Rojo - A pepper that has been linked to ancient Peru, where it's seeds have been found in archaeological digs! Short dumpy peppers with a moderate heat. Aji Rojo matures to red, and Aji Amarillo matures to yellow.
