Franchi Mild Chili Pepper Padron Seeds

Overview

Mild Chili Pepper Padron is the famous Spanish frying pepper traditionally picked while green and small. Most fruits are mild, with the occasional hotter pepper adding the characteristic surprise associated with Padron dishes.

Key Features

• Classic Padron frying pepper
• Harvested green or allowed to ripen red
• Excellent for pan-frying and tapas
• Suitable for greenhouse or warm sheltered growing

How to Grow

Sow from February to May under warm, protected conditions. Pot seedlings on as they grow and move to a greenhouse, polytunnel or very warm sheltered outdoor position after frost risk has passed.

Growing Conditions & Care

Peppers need warmth, strong light, fertile compost and regular feeding once flowering begins. Water consistently but avoid waterlogging.

Harvesting & Use

Harvest from summer into autumn while fruits are still small and green for the classic Padron style, or leave some to colour further.
