'Padron' is a chilli with character. Known as the Spanish Tapas Chilli, its heat level varies from mild to fiery depending on when it's picked. Harvest young and green for a gentler flavour, or allow to mature for more intense heat.

These chillies are incredibly versatile; grill them whole, stuff them, or slice into stir-fries for a bold burst of flavour. A must-grow for anyone who enjoys a bit of culinary excitement.

How To Grow

Add some heat to your garden with chilli and sweet pepper seeds, perfect for greenhouses, pots, or sunny borders. From fiery hot chillies to crisp, sweet peppers, there’s a variety for every taste. Start seeds early in warm conditions for the best results. As fruits develop, feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser to boost flavour and yields. Homegrown peppers are a delicious addition to any dish!


Indoor Sowing
Sow seeds early in a warm, bright spot. Coco Dots are ideal for strong root growth with the right balance of moisture and aeration. A heated propagator can help maintain warmth. Once seedlings develop two true leaves, pot on into 9cm pots of compost and grow in a bright, sheltered place. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.


Planting Out
Harden plants off over 7–14 days before transplanting outdoors. Plant 1cm deep, spacing 30cm between plants and 30cm between rows. Mulch to retain heat and moisture.


Harvesting
Harvest peppers green for a crisp flavour or leave to ripen to red, yellow, or orange for a sweeter taste. Chillies can be picked at any stage, depending on the heat level you prefer.
