Button Mix Chili Pepper

Button Mix Chili Pepper is a compact, highly productive variety that produces an abundance of small, brightly coloured fruits in shades of red and yellow. With a mildly hot, fruity flavour, these peppers are as useful in the kitchen as they are attractive in the garden.

This variety is especially well suited to container growing, where plants remain tidy and can produce dozens of peppers on a single plant.
