Fire Kiss Red Chilli Seeds, 10 pcs.

Feuerküsschen Red Chilli Seeds for compact plants with colourful upright fruits

Feuerküsschen Red Chilli Seeds produce a compact Capsicum annuum variety bred in Germany. Reaching approximately 45 cm in height, the plants are well suited to containers, sunny windowsills and sheltered outdoor positions. The small fruits grow upright in clusters and change from green through yellow and orange before becoming red. With 2,500–5,000 Scoville units, or heat level 5, Feuerküsschen Red provides noticeable chilli heat while remaining versatile in the kitchen.

Compact growth for pots and windowsills

The bushy, space-efficient growth habit makes Feuerküsschen Red particularly useful where growing space is limited. It is a practical addition to a collection of chilli seeds for home growing when you plan to cultivate plants on a balcony, patio or windowsill. The conical fruits measure approximately 1 × 3 cm, point upwards and add ornamental interest as they pass through several colours while ripening.

Warm conditions for germination

Sowing is recommended from February to April, with an optimum germination temperature of 20–28 °C. A suitable propagator for seed starting can help maintain a more stable environment during this stage. Where ambient temperatures are too low, heat mats for seedlings can provide additional warmth around the growing medium and root zone.

Sunny growing conditions and versatile fruits

Once established, the plants prefer a sunny, sheltered position and fresh, nutrient-rich, free-draining soil without waterlogging. Young plants intended for outdoor cultivation should only be moved outside once frost is no longer a concern. The fruits mature in approximately 60–70 days and can be used for salsas, sauces and dips or dried for later use.
