Details
Chilli Pepper 'Basket of Fire' is a highly ornamental variety thanks to its multicoloured fruit. The small, fiery chillies mature from a deep purple through shades of yellow, orange and finally into a bright scarlet red. The bushy, semi spreading nature of the plant makes it a fantastic choice for growing in hanging baskets or containers. With a Scoville heat rating of 80,000, these fruits are one for the spice lovers!

Plant Care
Plug plants are small, young plants grown in cell trays. Even the largest plug plants, described as extra-large or jumbo, are still small plants from cell trays and not established plants. Plug plants can be great value compared to buying more established plants however they may need some extra care to get them started.
Caring for Plug PlantsWe recommend starting plug plants in a small pot and not planting directly into open ground or large pots/planters. You will want a plant pot roughly the size of a tea mug, commonly referred to as 7cm or 9cm pots. Ensure the pot has plenty of holes underneath and preferably over two tiers for even better drainage.
Reduced PlasticsIn order to lessen our environmental impact, all of our plants will be removed from their plastic cell trays or pots before sending. Ensure you are ready to pot your plants when they arrive.
