Gochugaru Chilli Seeds
Gochugaru Chilli Seeds. Also known in Korea as the Gochu (Gochujang/Gochugaru) chilli. This chilli (as the name suggests) is most renowned for its used in the Korean side dish Kim Chi, which is a naturally fermented (pickled) cabbage. The plant has a very typical Annuum growth trait. Bushy plants give generous yield to lots of green pods that ripen from green to a brilliant red colour. Pods are pendant shaped and grow to a size of around8cm in length. The flavour of these pods is fruity with a typical annuum burn. A lovely long burn on these pods. A good medium sized plant that produces well.

* 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.
