Ignite Chilli Seeds. If it's small you are after, then this is definitely the smallest chilli in the collection. This dwarf chilli originates from India. The mother plant measured no more than 4cmx4cmx4cm. It's truly miniscule. So small in fact, that without a macro lens we were not able to capture this small plant. But as they say, dynamite comes in small packages. The pods on this plant are equally small. Pods mature from off white to yellow to red. Producing a fair few pods, these are small and fiery. With a delicate aroma and taste that would add a little something to a small dish perhaps - or you could just have it in the garden/patio/windowsill, because it is the smallest and cute.

* 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.
