Tri-Colour Chilli Pepper

A stunning, compact chilli plant producing a mix of mini 3–4cm chillies that ripen from purple to yellow and finally bright red. Perfect for adding a burst of colour to your garden, pots, or dishes, with a gentle heat that’s great for cooking or drying.

Harvest

June to October — pick when chillies are fully swollen, glossy, and vibrant in colour.

Growing Instructions

• Planting: 45cm apart in well-drained soil, in a sunny, sheltered spot.
• Position: Ideal in a greenhouse, but also thrives in pots on a sunny patio or in a conservatory.
• Watering: Keep soil evenly moist until established and during dry spells, avoiding waterlogging.
• Support: Stake plants if they reach 30cm as chillies begin to form.
• Feeding: Only feed once 2–3 chillies have formed. Picking lone early fruits encourages more to grow.

Top Tips

• Handle With Care: Wash hands immediately after touching chillies.
• Warm Roots: Grow in pots or grow bags to keep roots warm.
• Shade if Needed: Protect delicate leaves during hot spells.
• Encourage More Fruit: Early picking of single chillies stimulates further crops.
