Fushimi Chili Seeds

Information: The Fushimi Chili is a Japanese chili variety with mild heat and intense, sweet chili flavour, which remains even after drying. Numerous of the approx. 15 cm long, thin, partly curved, red pods grow on the bushy and vigorous plants, which produce a mild, aromatic chili powder when dried.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. 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. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
