Morango Chilli Seeds. We have a soft spot for this chilli. C. Baccatum. This is an unusual chilli that can be a little tricky to germinate, but once established grows very bushy with loads of off white cherry shaped pods. When pods are white, this plant serves well as an ornamental in a garden. Eventually pods will change from off white to orange, and finally to red once fully ripe. Pods also have the characteristic of having a little corking on the outside. Pods are super crunchy and juicy with a great citrus flavour… almost Habanero like, but not the same searing heat. So a great option for those who don’t like their chillies so hot.

* 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.
