Purple Tiger
Purple Tiger Chilli Seeds. An exceptionally beautiful ornamental chilli that bears loads of fiery purple pods on a small to medium sized plant. The pods have no culinary value, though edible - but the pure beauty of these purple/blackish/green plants with their purple pods are a must in any garden in need of something spectacular. Pods ripen from purple to red in the last week of ripening. Pods could be dried and used as chilli flakes.

* 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.
