Description

Basket of Fire F1 Chilli Seeds

[90–100 days] Basket of Fire F1 is a compact, semi-trailing chilli variety that’s perfect for growing in containers, hanging baskets, or small garden spaces. Despite its modest size, this little powerhouse produces an abundance of small, upward-pointing fruits that put on a colourful display as they ripen—shifting from deep purple to cream, then orange, and finally bright red.

The chillies themselves pack a decent punch, making them great for fresh use, drying, or ornamental displays. The plant’s natural trailing habit makes it ideal for draping over pot edges or spilling attractively from baskets. It’s also more tolerant of cooler conditions than most other chilli types, allowing for an extended harvest window well into autumn.

Whether you’re a beginner grower looking for an easy yet productive plant or a seasoned gardener after a beautiful and fiery addition to your garden, Basket of Fire F1 delivers both heat and visual impact.

Height: 30–40cm (12–16"). Spread: 40–50cm (16–20").

Common Questions

How hot are Basket of Fire chillies? They are considered hot, with a Scoville rating of up to 80,000 SHU—similar to a cayenne but smaller and more decorative.

Can I grow Basket of Fire indoors? Absolutely! This variety is well suited for sunny windowsills, conservatories, or greenhouses. Just make sure it gets plenty of light to flower and fruit well.

Will the fruit all ripen at the same time? Not quite—one of this variety’s charms is that the chillies ripen at different times, creating a multicoloured display that lasts for weeks.
