The plants are very productive reaching 60-90cm in height producing 7-9cm long glossy chocolate coloured fruits. They love sun and need protection under glass in the UK to thrive.

Cultivation Advice VEGETABLE HOT CHILLI PEPPER FATALII BROWN

Germination requires constant soil temperatures of between 25-28C. In the UK it is best to supply bottom heat with the aid of a propagation mat or propagator. The seed is unlikely to germinate without additional help in an average UK central heated house.
Soil based compost is best and should be fine and free-draining.
Germination in 14-21 days, patience is required.
Sow from Feb onwards in the UK indoors with heat provided and lightly cover with vermiculite if possible to 1/4in depth.
The seed does not require light during germination; however, once the seeds have germinated you need to provide adequate light for the seedlings.
If intending to move to a cooler conservatory or greenhouses in early summer gradually acclimatise the plants both to the higher light levels and temperatures.
Please note this variety is not suited to outdoor cultivation in the UK at any stage and will not appreciate unheated glasshouses in early spring until the weather warms.
