They require a warm climate but can be grown indoors allowing it to produce fruit all year round.  The fruit is a small cone shape that points upwards to the sky and is approx. 2 to 3cm in size   Can be eaten raw, in salads, cooked, pickled, or dried.  Flavour is like capsicum, but heat is definitely not mild like capsicum with a SHU rating of anywhere between 10,000 to 30,000 depending on when you picked them

Sow seeds 6mm deep indoors in early spring or outdoors once temp reaches 18ﹾC in warm sunny position with well drained soil.  Check regularly that soil does not dry out. But it can’t be too wet either. Test with you finger in the soil.  Liquid Fertilize ever two weeks and trim back if over growing. They grow roughly to a 50cm small bush in a pot but may grow larger in the ground.

We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.

Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
