The spice chillies are generally small-fruited and thin-fleshed, and are usually hotter than the vegetable chillies. They are used to add heat and flavour to a dish, but contribute very little bulk. In addition, they are ideal for drying and milling into a powder. Some varieties are also very attractive and can be used as 'edible ornamentals', and do well as houseplants.

Plugs are sent out on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
