Chilli Royal Black (Capsicum annuum) 20 Seeds
Royal Black – one of the most elegant chillies you can grow in your garden, adding a lovely oriental accent to a patio or flowerbed. The plant is tall and bushy, with dark purple foliage that has the occasional leaf tip of white and green. The bullet-shaped pequin pods are both flavoursome and hot, starting out a dark purple shade and ripening to bright red.
Royal Black Chili is between 50000- 60000 Scoville units.
The official measure of chili hotness is the Scoville Unit, which ranges from 0 (green bell pepper) to 16,000,000 (pure capsicum).
How to Grow Peppers from Seed
Sow the seeds in individual pots of good quality potting soil at least 6 weeks before you plan to set them out. Barely cover them with soil. Moisten the soil gently so as not to disturb the seeds.
Bottom heat will speed germination considerably.
As soon as the seedlings emerge, move them into bright light and keep protected for the first few weeks.
