Explosive Ember (Burning Ember)
Explosive Embers Chilli Seeds. A small bushy ornamental chilli plant with purple to green foliage. Plant bears abundant small teardrop shaped pods in various colours ranging from purple to yellow/orange that all turn to a rich red colour once ripe. An attractive colourful chilli plant that is classified as ornamental, but chillies are edible. Thin skinned, small pods have a good heat to them and similar to Thai chillies. Thin skinned, loads of seeds. Probably not one for culinary distinction, but certainly a very colourful addition to any garden/patio or windowsill.

* 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.
