Habanero Zavory Yellow Chili Seeds
Information: The Habanero Zavory Yellow Chili is anextremely high-yielding Habanero variety with a fantastic, fruity flavour. The 4 x 6 cm large fruits, which resemble small, long peppers with smooth, wrinkled, thin walls, grow on bushy plants. They contain plenty of juice and develop a reasonable level of spiciness. In the kitchen they are typically used for making sauces and marinades, but due to their thin fruit walls they are also good for drying and making into chili powder.
Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost. As the plants have a particularly long maturation period, it is recommended to grow them in a pot, so that you can easily bring the plant inside when the temperature falls below 12°C during the day, allowing all the fruits to ripen. To keep the plant over the winter, cut it back by 20cm after harvesting and place in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
