Devils Tongue Red Chili Seeds
Info: The Devils Tongue Red Chili lives up to its name: it is an extremely spicy Chinense variety with beautiful red fruits which are reminiscent of the Fatalii. The plants grow quickly and produce numerous approx. 3 x 6 cm large, slightly furrowed fruits. In addition to their pronounced spiciness, they have a fruity sweet flavour and are suitable for sauces, 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 mat 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.
