Varieties of Chili
Which variety suits you depends on site, space and taste. Here are the Chili varieties with their particulars.
- ‘Cayenne’You will find this variety behind the Cayenne pepper on the spice shelf, a reliable all‑rounder for your home garden.
- ‘Habanero Orange’A true heat classic from the Capsicum chinense family that you will grow best in a greenhouse or against a warm wall in DACH regions.
- ‘Hungarian Hot Wax’An early, uncomplicated variety that ripens reliably even in a cooler gardening year, because it does not need a long spell of heat.
- ‘Jalapeño’Probably the best known chilli for the home garden and a rewarding start if you do not like it too hot.
- ‘Lemon Drop’This Peruvian Capsicum baccatum variety brings an unusually clear lemon aroma into the garden.
- ‘NuMex Twilight’A compact ornamental chilli that is genuinely hot and fully usable at the same time, which makes it ideal for the balcony and the windowsill.
- ‘Padrón’The famous tapas chillies from Galicia, which you harvest young and green and fry in olive oil in the pan.
- ‘Serrano’The Mexican salsa classic, hotter than the ‚Jalapeño’ and with a thinner skin that can be processed directly without peeling.
