Thai Dragon Chilli seeds
This is one of the first chillies I grew along with Scotch Bonnets and Habaneros, these three will be always on my grow list. We grow a lot of these chillies as we love hot Thai food and they offer a great kick. They can also be used to make a delicious hot version of Thai sweet chilli sauce, using garlic, sugar, sherry vinegar and tomato ketchup.
This is a great early variety which can produce hundreds of 5-8cm long, slender pods per plant. The pods start dark green and mature to bright red.
This is a must grow chilli, always a good producer of very usable pods. It likes full sun and is excellent in the greenhouse in cool-temperate climates. Highly recommended for a novice grower.
