The Nellie Kelly Chilli is HOT, rating a staggering 8 out of 10 on the ‘International Chilli Scale’. It makes a fantastic pot plant for a sunny porch and can create a colourful, living border when several are planted in a row. The Nellie Kelly Chilli is a quick-growing, compact bush that grows to 30cm and produces large red fruit 4cm long during the warmer months. For best results, plant in a well-drained, slightly acidic potting mix in a full sun position and apply a slow release organic fertiliser. Avoid planting in colder climates or areas where frost occurs. Fruiting begins in mid-summer through to mid-autumn, with temperatures of 20 to 25C degrees needed for ripening. Fruit first appears as green, then turns black before finally becoming a deep, brilliant red. Removal of these mature, red chillis encourages continued flowering and a more abundant crop. Maintain watering during the fruiting months and apply a nitrogen-rich, liquid organic fertiliser on a fortnightly basis. Nellie Kelly Chillis are ideal for adding to your favourite stirfries and curries, either fresh or dried.
