Bishops Crown White Chilli Seeds
White Bishops Crown Chilli Seeds. The White Bishops Crown (C. Baccatum) is a colour variant of the regular Bishops Crown. It is not only unsual and funky in appearance, but it is also a very eye catching and beautiful white/cream colour. The name Bishops Crown is derived from their unusual shape that looks like the hats Bishops and Cardinals used to wear in the medieval days (an even current day). A must in any garden. An absolute pleasure to grow. Smaller plants than its sister plant that yield plenty pods throughout the season. Pods will ripen to a creamy colour. Pods are crunchy and unlike its sister plant have a more clean "baccatum" flavour with citrus undertones. Not fruity like the sister plant. Water them lots to get big mild tasting pods and starve the plants from water and these will yield smaller but much hotter pods! These are an absolute show stopper in the garden or in containers. Less of a sensation in the kitchen - though - sadly (in our humble opinion). They do lend themselves to adding fresh to a salad or salsa. The white accent colour and the crunch are well suited for these applications.

* 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.
