Extreme Hot Green Chilli
Fiery, prolific, ready to grow

Ships Australia-wide & internationally
What you're getting
Real Heat, Real Yield
A genuinely fiery green chilli, selected for a plant that keeps producing rather than a single showy flush of fruit. Picked green for a sharp, grassy heat that builds quickly — this is a serious chilli for anyone who finds jalapeño-level heat underwhelming.
Handle with care — wash hands after picking or preparing, and avoid touching your eyes or face.
Full Sun
6–8 hours daily for the heaviest cropping
Pick Often
Regular picking pushes the plant to keep flowering
Feed Right
Balanced feed early, then potassium-rich once flowering starts

Growing in a pot?
Any zone
A general guide for Melbourne / Victoria and comparable zones. Warmer states can start earlier; cool highland areas later. Chillies are frost-tender everywhere in Australia.
Seed to harvest
What happens next
Sowing
5mm deep in seed-raising mix. Warm soil (25–30°C) makes the biggest difference to germination speed and success.
Germination · 10–20 days
Cold soil is the most common reason chilli seed takes far longer than expected, or seems to fail.
Growing on
Pot on at 2–3 true leaves, harden off over a week, plant out only after frost risk has passed.
Flowering & fruit set
Water deeply and evenly — stressed plants drop flowers before they set fruit.
Harvest · 75–90 days
Pick while green and firm for the classic sharp heat. Stake once loaded — a heavy branch snaps easily in wind.
