Chilli Red Cherry Hot Seeds

Unit price perCapsicum annuum
Red Cherry Hot is a prolific heirloom-style Chilli producing an abundance of small, rounded fruits that resemble bright red cherries. The thick, fleshy fruits reach approximately 3 cm long and 4 cm across, ripening from green to a rich, glossy red.
The compact fruits have a lively chilli heat balanced by the sweetness of their thick flesh. Their shape and substantial walls make them particularly good for pickling whole, stuffing, roasting or preserving, while they can also be chopped fresh into salsas, sauces and other dishes. The combination of heat and sweetness makes Red Cherry Hot quite different in character from thin-fleshed Cayenne types.
Plants have an upright, vigorous habit and can be remarkably productive, often bearing more than 50 fruits per plant under favourable conditions. Regular harvesting encourages further flowering and fruit development throughout the warm season.
Chillies originated in the Americas and have been cultivated for thousands of years, spreading around the world following European contact and becoming integral to cuisines throughout Asia, Africa and Europe. They are naturally rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, while their characteristic heat comes from capsaicinoids concentrated primarily in the internal membranes of the fruit.
Approximately 25 seeds per packet
Heat: Hot
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Most of the year
Subtropics: Late winter to summer
Mild climates: Spring to early summer
Cold climates: Start under protection in late winter to spring and transplant after the last frost
Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into trays or pots and keep warm and consistently moist during germination. Chilli seed germinates best with steady warmth.
Transplant seedlings once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed, spacing approximately 40–50 cm apart in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development.
Harvest green if desired or allow fruits to ripen fully to deep red for their mature sweetness and heat. Regular picking will encourage continued production.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety. Not available for delivery to Western Australia.
