Explosive heat packed into each little chilli: only 1-2cm long yet 100,000 - 225,000 Scoville. These do need a long growing season so it is best to start the seeds early. Before the plants flower you can prune to reduce height and give a bushier plant. The chillies have thin walls and ripen from green through orange to red. Phew! Price for 10 seeds |

Ripening to a bright red and cherry shaped, productive and early, and with heat on the mild to medium end of the scale. The brave amongst you might consider stuffing these with a soft cheese and eating them raw in salads. The rest of us will enjoy them in other ways (stuffed and then roasted is really tasty)!

Bridging the gap between medium to hot Fresno is a versatile choice. Whilst green add them to sauces, dips, casseroles, soups and so on when they add less heat and lots of flavour. Maturing from dark green to red, about 90 days or so from transplanting, they will give you more heat as time goes on. The plants are shorter than many others and upright, the fruits are conical and pungent. AGM winner. Price for 10 seeds |

Hot and rich flavoured really funky fruits. Some describe them as upside down mushrooms, others as resembling patty pan squashes, I think they look like weird bell peppers but make no mistake these have heat! Sturdy productive plants, compact and suitable for growing in pots. Definitely a talking point.

A welcome return for unassuming this small green pepper which is a Spanish culinary delight. Traditionally they are pan fried in olive oil with a little sea salt and served with beer, alternatively add them to a stir fry and play Spanish roulette as every so often Padron will produce amongst its mild chillies a hot one that is indistinguishable until eaten! "Os pementos de Padrón, uns pican e outros non" (Galician for "Padrón peppers, some are hot and some are not"). Price for 10 seeds. |

This plant can look on fire with chillies ripening through yellow and orange to red, many held upright above the foliage. The plants may be small but what they lack in size they make up for with their prolific harvest, a happy plant can have a hundred plus chillies (no wonder it has won a coveted AGM). And the chillies themselves may look small but do not be deceived: fire by name and nature, hot & tasty
