Size:50 Seeds •Packet Content (approx.): 50 • A wonderfully productive and decorative chilli pepper. The unique, bushy growing habit of Chilli Pepper 'Basket of Fire' makes it perfect for hanging baskets and containers. This colourful variety becomes smothered with small, hot chillies which mature from deep purple through yellow and orange to a bright shade of scarlet red, creating a fabulous display. Plants show good tolerance to cool weather and will continue to fruit outside well into the autumn, and even longer under glass. These powerful peppers have a Scoville heat rating of around 80000shu, and once harvested can be dried or used fresh from the plant. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 50cm (20"). • Sow pepper seeds about 1 cm deep into a seed tray or in small pots or cells. Cover lightly, water and place inside at between 20-25°C to aid germination, place the tray in a plastic bag. Sow January-March. Germination can be slow with some hot peppers. • As soon as seedlings are large enough to handle, prick out. Transplant the seedlings into small individual pots. Use rich compost and keep the plants between 20-30°C during the growing season. • For best production keep the plants in the Greenhouse, Polytunnel, Conservatory. • Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into 7.5cm (3in) pots. Plant in the greenhouse in individual large pots, or 3 plants per grow-bag when 20cm (8in) high. • Can be planted outdoors, 45cm (18in) apart once all frost risk has passed. • Suitable for the vegetable garden, allotments and containers. Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.

Not like the picture at all.
The picture clearly shows a compact plant. The plants that grew from the seeds I recieved do not resemble the picture at all. They are three feet tall, not at all bushy and are thin and sparse. I can't go back to April and start again. The structure resembles the Habanero plant that I have beside them. Thin, tall and plenty of space between the branches.I own dwarf chilli plants that more closely resemble the picture shown than these odd, tall, bare plants. I feel conned. It has taken months to find this out. I wanted what was in the picture, not flippin' christmas trees!
