Pepper (Chilli) Zimbabwe Black Seeds

Chilli Pepper – Zimbabwe Black

The purple stained foliage and colourful chillies which ripen from dark purple to bright red give Zimbabwe Black a striking appearance. This is a Capsicum annuum cultivar with a densely branched growth habit producing masses of colourful flowers and fruit.

Sow indoors from January to April, in soil 0.5 cm deep, in separate pots if possible. Pot on in late May outdoors either in containers as patio plants or in a well protected site. Peppers can be slow to germinate so allow up 35+ days. Compost should not be too moist to prevent the seeds from rotting. All chilli peppers are very sensitive to the cold.
