Peri Peri (Malawian Birdseye)
Malawi Peri Peri Chilli Seeds. The Peri Peri chilli has spread throughout Southern Africa. Grown pretty much in every Southern African country, the Peri Peri has become a chilli synonimous with Africa. These seeds are from Malawi, where Peri Peri has been grown since introduced to Malawi by traders from Mozambique. Grown in Malawian soil for centuries, these Peri Peri are different to other Peri Peri. Slender and longer, but still with that characteristic peppery burn.

* 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.
