Aji Verde

Aji Verde chilli seeds. The Aji Verde is a superb chilli. It's a great germinator and grower. Plants can grow up to 1,3m in height, yielding loads of condom shaped pods that are thin skinned, crunchy and hollow. As the name suggests, these are used green in salsas and will change to red once fully ripe. Heat is moderate and flavour clean and crisp, leaning towards a typical pepper flavour.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers  - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
