Drago Chili Seeds 1000 Stk.

Information: The Drago chilli comes from Russia and is the most commonly used chilli there. The Drago can also be cultivated in our country without any problems: It is quite hardy, forms small, compact bushes and produces a large number of red pods.

The elongated fruits are thick-walled, ripen to a bright red colour and are ideal for use in sauces, cooking or pickling. Drago chillies are pleasantly hot with an intense chilli flavour.

Care: The germination temperature is between 22 and 28 °C (12 - 21 days germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, well-drained soil and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be placed in a full sun, sheltered spot with at least 6 hours of sunlight, preferably more. Place the plants outside at the earliest approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. If you cultivate the plant in a pot, you can overwinter it. To do this, you may need to cut it back a little and place it in a bright spot with a temperature of at least 15°C.
