Boriya Mirch Chilli Seeds
Boriya Mirch Chilli Seeds. Boriya Mirch is a small, round, hot chilli pepper (also known as Button Chilli) that grows on the Pacific coast of Mexico. Translated from Spanish it's name means "Small Bell" or "Rattle". When dried this chilli becomes translucent and makes a rattling noise like a tattle snake - hence it is also called Rattle Snake Chilli. The plant can grow to more than 1 meter producing bright to dark red large round chiles that are prized for their pleasant overall burn they create in the mouth.

* 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.
