The Hot Kit

Growing chili is hot. That's why we've put together a kit for those who like things a little spicier. Chili is fun to grow and really adds an extra kick to your cooking. Excellent for growing in pots on balconies and in small spaces. Since our warm summer period is so short, chili needs to be pre-grown to be harvested in the summer.

The pros say "pre-cultivate," which means you sow in pots indoors as early as January-March to give them a head start when it's time to transplant the chili plants outdoors. Chili can also be planted and harvested 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 cultivate on a small scale and sustainably. Simply careful craftsmanship from start to finish. In collaboration with Nordfrö.
