Umberto Chili Seeds

Information: The Umberto chilli with a heat level of 7 is a small, high-yielding variety that impresses with its pure chilli flavour and crisp heat. The 2 - 4 cm pods ripen from green to yellow to light red and look like a mixture of pepper and tomato when ripe.

They are ideal for fresh consumption, for use in sauces or for pickling. This chilli will delight everyone with its intense flavour.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8 - 14 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. The earliest time to place the plants outside is 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. If grown in plant pots, you can also take care of them through the winter. It might be necessary to cut them back slightly and place them in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
