Hot Lemon Drop Chilli

A South American treasure also known as Ají Limón, this chilli variety is a must-grow for flavour lovers. Plants are vigorous and productive, offering long cascades of glowing yellow pods with a bright, citrusy kick. Perfect for sauces, salsas, and drying.

Sow indoors from January to April. Needs warmth (22–28°C) to germinate and thrives in sun-soaked, sheltered spots. Stake as plants grow tall. Harvest fruits when fully yellow for the best heat and flavour. Can be overwintered indoors in mild climates.

Ideal for patio pots, greenhouses, or the warmest corners of the garden.
