Beautiful AND Fiery — The Showiest Hot Pepper in the Garden
Super Chili (Capsicum annuum, Hybrid) is as beautiful as it is fiery. Small upright peppers grow in colorful clusters against dark green foliage, creating a striking ornamental display — yet the fruits pack serious heat at 35,000–40,000 SHU, perfect for Thai and Asian dishes. Prolific and fast-maturing, it doubles as a stunning container plant for patios and decks.

Growing Tips
Plant in full sun with rich, well-draining soil. Amend the planting hole with compost and feed every 2–3 weeks for the first 6 weeks. Mulch the base with 1–2″ of compost to retain moisture. Keep indoors during cold snaps below 55°F.
Harvest Tips
Harvest with clean garden scissors when fruits reach full red. Frequent harvesting encourages new bud formation and extends the productive season.
