Set of 3 Twilight (NuMex) Seedlings - Pre-Order Now!

Grown using 100% renewable energy!

This is an amazingly beautiful shrub-like bush which can grow up to 80cm tall. It is covered with small upright multi-coloured chillies with purple, orange yellow and red all showing at the same time. 

This is the one of the chillies grown in the 2006 BBC Gardeners World Chilli Trial after their visit to film us in the Autumn of 2005.

Because this variety grows upright and is quite sturdy it can be grown without support in any size of pot from 1 litre upwards. It does develop a broad canopy, so the bigger the pot the larger the display and harvest you will get. 

Heat level: Approximately 80,000 SHUs. Learn about Scoville Heat Units (SHUs) here.

Harvest: Starts fruiting about 90 days from potting on as seedlings and under good growing conditions. Pick when the fruits have reached their maximum size. Fruits ripen from to red.

Size: The plant can grow to 8cm high.

Growers Guide

These chilli seedlings respond well to extra warmth as young plants; 25°C is the ideal temperature. 

The plants can be grown in pots or directly in the ground. Pots should be at least 2 litres, but 5 liters and is preferred.

You can download the growing instructions that are sent out with the seedlings here.

Seedlings will need to be potted on. We recommend using Fertile Fibre peat-free compost. We use this product ourselves and found that it has the best properties compared to all the other peat-free composts currently available. Note that any additional items bought together with pre-order seedlings will be shipped at the same time as the seedlings when they are ready which is normally from March to May.
