Guajillo

Guajillo chilli seeds. Pronounced wa-hee-lo, this is an icon among Mexican chillies. These are medium plants that yield lots of medium banana shaped chillies that change from a light green to red. A lovely burst of fresh fruity flavour in these chillies coupled with a gentle entry level heat. These chillies are used extensively in Mexican cuisine, either dried or reconstituted. The Guajillo is also paired with other Mexican chillies like De Arbol and Pasilla or Poblanos to achieve a complexity of flavours.

* 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.
