Make A Start With Chilli Peppers

THEIR ornamental looks, varied flavours and heat levels are just a few reasons why chillies and peppers are top of my sowing list every spring. Each year I grow my favourites (‘Padron’, ‘Numex Twilight’, ‘Scotch Bonnet’ to name a few) but I’m always on the lookout for new types to try.

There were over 100 hundred varieties on test across two poly tunnels, but it was the quality of each and every plant that really caught my eye. Aiming for the same results myself, I tracked down trials manager Brian Talman for some insider tips.
