Kings Seeds Pepper Chilli Trinidad Perfume
Description
This pepper is a must have for anybody who enjoys cooking. With authentic Habanero flavour, without the heat! This is an invaluable variety in the kitchen. When used in conjunction with a hot Habanero it allows the cook to control the depth of the flavour, without adding too much heat. Yellow coloured chillis.
As easy to grow as tomatoes and requiring much of the same treatment. Trindad perfume peppers can be grown outside, so long as they are in a sheltered sunny area, but best results are usually obtained when they are grown in a polytunnel or a greenhouse. Delicious when used raw in salads but are also very tasty when cooked. They can be stuffed, roasted or added to sauces.
When to Sow Trinidad Perfume Pepper Seeds

Where to Sow

What to do next
