Lingua di Fuoco Chili Seeds
Info: Lingua di Fuoco Chili is a dwarf variety from Italy, perfect for the windowsill or containers on the balcony in summer. The small, compact plants reach only 20cm in height, producing a large display of elongated fruits held high above the foliage in bunches ripening from green to bright red. They look like small fire tongues, therefore the name "lingua di fuoco".
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.
