    Well to be honest that's really why I bought them lol
    I'm a bit of a wimp with chillies and find jalapeno just about right. Will be good to see how they turn out:)

    Sorry, can't help :sad:

    I only grow Shiney Hybrids and Naga. :blue thumb:

    All the purple chillies that I've seen have looked very good but not tasted them. Good luck with them :)

      We've sown 60 Shiney Hybrids and now have 100% germination. Half have been transplanted to seed trays (the other half aren't big enough yet) and we now need to wait and see how many of them survive to be potted on.
