The Hot Kit

Growing chilies is hot. That's why we've developed a kit for those of you who like a bit stronger stuff. Chili is fun to grow and really adds an extra spice to your cooking. Excellent for growing in pots on balconies and in small areas. Because our hot summer period is so short, chilies need pre-cultivation in order to be harvested in the summer.

The pros say pre-cultivate and that means you sow in pots indoors as early as January-March to give them a head start when it's time to replant the chilli plants outdoors. Chili can also be planted and harvested all year round indoors, but then you need to provide them with extra heat and lighting.

All our seeds are produced in Sweden by dedicated growers who grow small-scale and sustainably. Simply a careful craftsmanship from start to finish. In collaboration with Nordfrö.

Chili Pepper : 1500 Scoville
Red Hot Chili Pepper : 15000 Scoville
Cayenne Pepper : 20000 Scoville.

Hot Razzmatazz

Strikingly beautiful plant with green-purple leaves and fruits in all colors that grow noisy. Ripens from yellow-purple-orange to red, all colors are present on the plant at the same time. It is compact, about 40 cm high and works really well in a pot. This is your new houseplant for the kitchen window! More beautiful food is hard to find.
Strength : 5000-25000 Scoville
Grown by : Moa & Povilas at Tobyn Permakultur (Arvika), Carolina at Stora Ulvarp (Vetlanda).
Germination : at least 88%.

Early Jalapeño

A classic jalapeño that is more adapted to our slightly cooler climate with an earlier maturity. The fruits are conical in shape and are about 8cm long. They turn red when they ripen and can then reach 8000 Scoville but it is excellent to harvest and eat as green. Nice to have in salads or why not swing together a pickled jalapeño.

Sow the seeds in moist, but not wet, soil and preferably cover it with something to maintain even moisture. The seeds like to germinate at a temperature of 25-30 degrees. When the plant has grown and a second pair of leaves has grown, it thrives better in a temperature of 20 degrees.
Strength : Can reach 8000 Scoville
Grown by : MaryAnn & Martin at Oasen at Åsen (Katrineholm).
Germination : at least 95%.

Hot Lemon

The variety is also called Lemon Drop and, as the name suggests, the fruits have a clear aroma of citrus that is well suited both fresh and dried in cooking. The fruits are lemon yellow and cone-shaped with a length of about 5 cm. When young, the plant can be trellised and it grows to approx. 70 cm in a greenhouse and somewhat lower in a large pot/box or open field.
Note! Not to be confused with Habanero Hot Lemon.
Strength : 30000-50000 Scoville
Bred by : Max & Sarah at Gröna Egg (Simrishamn), Joe in Tolg (Växjö).
