Fatalii Red
Fatalii Red Chilli Seeds. A variation of the original Yellow Fatalii. The Fatalii originates from central Africa (Congo). An interesting story tells of Congolese slaves returning to their country after the slave trade, bringing Habanero seeds back to the Congo and growing these chillies there. Over time, these have grown into their own species and are without a doubt the most unique tasting chilli to be found anywhere. If you are looking for a great chilli to grow... look no further than the Fatalii. A good grower. Plants grow to about 1/1,2m in height. Producing loads of large wrinkled pods. The Fatalii is an exceptionally hot variety of Habanero. The Red Fatalii has a very different taste to the original Yellow Fatalii. It's taste is not sweet or fruity, but very peppery. The burn is a peppery brurn that is as intense as it is long.

* 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.
