Thai Hot Chilli is a compact, highly productive variety growing to around 1 metre tall and producing abundant crops of slender, tapered fruits approximately 40 mm long. The chillies mature from green to vibrant red and pack a fiery punch, making them a favourite in Southeast Asian cuisine.
With a heat rating of 7–8, Thai Hot delivers a strong, clean heat that is ideal for curries, stir-fries, sauces and spicy condiments. The fruits are particularly well suited to making traditional hot chilli vinegar and develop their fullest flavour when harvested fully red. Their thin flesh also makes them excellent for drying, allowing them to be stored and used year-round.
Easy to grow and highly ornamental, plants become covered in colourful upright fruits throughout the season, making them a productive and attractive addition to vegetable gardens, pots and patio containers.

Grow in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water regularly and feed during flowering and fruit production for maximum yields.
