Pepper Hot – Mirch Masala
These vigorous semi-erect plants produce masses of hot peppers under a wide range of climatic conditions. The well branched plants produce pendulous down-facing fruit, which are 10 cm in length, ripening to deep-red. Originally selected for outdoor production in India, this variety has performed exceptionally well in unheated greenhouses in Northern Europe.
