Fried Chicken
Hot heat
It is a hybrid pepper created by crossing a Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion (JPGS) with a BBG7 Orange.As a "super hot" variety, it is not for the faint of heart, making it well-suited for hot sauces and chili powders.
The plant is known for being productive, growing large, gnarly pods with a pointed tail that ripen from green to orange. The peppers can range from mild (like Tien Tsin chiles, around 50,000-75,000 SHU) to extremely hot.
Red Hot Joker
Medium heat
The Chilli Joker, also known as Hot Joker, is a versatile and ornamental chilli pepper known for its slender, tapering fruits that mature from white to a fiery red. It offers a medium-hot, sweet-spicy flavor suitable for raw consumption in salads and salsas or for use in dried sauces. The plant is compact, growing to about 30-60 cm tall, making it excellent for pots, patios, windowsills, and sheltered garden sites.
The Tangerine Dream

For best results, it needs a sunny, sheltered spot, such as a greenhouse, and consistent moisture and feeding once flowering begins.

Renowned for its vibrant hues and pumpkin-shaped pods, this chilli plant has captivated growers for 8 years. Its unique colour progression, from light green to blotchy purple and finally to bright red, coupled with its bushy growth and prolific pod production, renders it a stunning addition to any garden.
