Orange Tyger produces stunning slender chillies with an initial sharp burst of heat, then a citrus flavour and a developing & enduring hot warmth (60,000-70,000 SHU): this complex pungency makes this a standout variety. Happy bushy plants can be very prolific with their fruit ripening from a bright lime-green to bold orange – happy in containers or a greenhouse/growhouse or conservatory. Possible outdoors in a warm, sunny & sheltered spot. First fruits about 12 weeks from transplanting.
Price for 10 seeds
SOW: from mid-April to end of May, indoors in a warm soil in trays or modules barely covering the seeds as they need light to germinate.
GROW: from the 2/3 leaf stage, they can be transplanted into a greenhouse border, a container or grow bag in a growhouse or conservatory: OR you can harden them off to grow outside in a warm sheltered spot. Orange Tyger becomes a medium sized bushy plant; the fruits ripen from a bright lime-green to bold orange.
ENJOY: their complex pungency is perfect for Thai style recipes…chopped into a stir fry with chicken, prawns or beef. The thin-walled fruit are a good choice for drying
