Hot Pixie
Hot Pixies Chilli Seeds. Closely related to the Bishops Crown, we do believe that the Hot Pixie is a chilli in its own right and not the same. They do look identical, but on closer inspection, pods are different and flavour too. Pods are Bishop like, but flaps turn down as opposed to going out at right angles from the main body of the pod. These are very good growers. Large plants that will easily reach 1,6m in height, yielding loads of these fiery pods. Large pods that are thin skinned, crunchy and very sweet and fruity. Great for salsas, sauces and stuffing.

* 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.
