Super Mario Chili Seeds

Information: The Super Mario Chilli is a variety bred by our friend Mario in Sardinia. The variety produces medium-sized, very productive plants with elongated, approx. 8 cm pods ripening from purple to red. The chillies resemble a Cayenne, but are juicier and have a slightly fruity flavour with a decent fiery heat. They are suitable for seasoning, cooking, drying, pickling and making Hot Sauces.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
