Black Olive Chili Seeds

Info: The Black Olive chili is an unusual and very beautiful chili variety and is a real eye-catcher in the garden or on the balcony. The plants remain compact and under sunlight develop partly purple-black foliage. Small, round, upright growing chillies develop from the light violet flowers that grow on the plants. The chillies ripen from green to black to red. They are suitable for cooking, seasoning and drying. 

Care: The germination temperature is between 22 und 28°C (8 - 20 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating pad is recommended. 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.

Tips for successful chili cultivation can be found in our Chili Cultivation Instructions and in the Chili Diary.
