Ecuadorian Sweet
Ecuadorian Sweet Chilli Seeds. The Ecuadorian Sweet is as the name implies and exceptionally sweet treat. It falls in the same category as the Cherry Bomb. Medium sized plant with little foliage and not a prolific producer, but what this plant does not have in quantity it certainly has in taste. Fiery red little pumpkin shaped pods, that are thick skinned and incredibly crunchy as well as fruity and immensely sweet. Perfect for pickling, but also great for drying. Really an awesome chilli to have in the garden. We have not tasted a sweeter chilli than this!

* 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.
