Availability: In stock
The clustered chilli with a bold Italian heat, Capsicum annuum ‘Piccante a Mazzetti’ (Dwarf), is an unusually productive variety, known for its tight clusters of upright fruits. The slender peppers grow to around 3–5cm in length, starting green and maturing to bright red from mid to late summer. With a hot rating of around 20000 Scoville units, they deliver a sharp, punchy heat that is perfect for drying, cooking, or adding a spicy kick to sauces.
Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in a warm, sunny position to encourage dense, bushy growth. Water regularly and feed throughout the growing season to maintain vigour, with minimal pruning required due to its compact habit. A brilliant choice for growers who want a high number of small chillies in one place, making harvesting quick and efficient.
