Franchi Seeds Chilli Red Cherry Small

*Heritage variety*

AKA ‘Piccante Calabrese’ or hot of Calabria. These chillies are round, hot and traditionally stuffed with tuna and arranged into jars of olive oil. Also great for stuffing as they will lose half their heat when cooked but have an excellent flavour of the fruit itself. Cut out the stalk and with a tea spoon remove the seeds before stuffing. Not for use where heat is a priority, but has more flavour than a traditional long chilli (which would be used for heat). Sow Spring. @120 seeds.
Grow over a frame or trellis or leave plenty of room around it so it can trail along the ground.

Approximate seeds quantity: @40 seeds.
Horticultural name: Lagenaria vulgaris L.
