For a prolific chili pepper with an excellent taste, you won’t go wrong with the Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant. Also known as Capsicum annuum 'Super Chilli', this plant can produce up to 300 red and green fruits up to 2.5 inches long per plant. As a hot pepper with a Scoville rating of 40,000 to 50,000, this pepper is ideal for flavoring dishes, either fresh or when dried. Not only is the Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant super productive, but it is also highly ornamental and will add a burst of color wherever you grow it.
Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant Care
For the heaviest yields, Super Chile is best grown in full sun. If growing more than one of these amazing pepper plants, they should be planted 18-24 inches apart. As a tender plant, the Super Chile Hot Pepper should only be planted out once all risk of frost has long passed. Select a planting site with fertile and free-draining soil.
Growing Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant
The Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant loves warmth and sun and is suitable for any sheltered, south-facing spot or for growing in a greenhouse or polytunnel. With its peppers harvestable in around 75 days, you could be enjoying its flavorsome heat in no time. Its fruits change from green to orange and red as they mature.
If grown in a container, this small, compact plant requires a pot size of 12-14 inches and a rich compost mix to support its growth. When potted, this pepper will require more frequent watering than if grown in the ground.
Watering Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant
The Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant likes to be grown in moist, but free-draining soil that is not overly wet or saturated. In general, a weekly watering will suffice depending on the growing conditions. Check the moisture level of the soil prior to watering.
Feeding Super Chile Hot Pepper Plant
To encourage your pepper plant to keep fruiting, a fertilizer can be applied once the first flowers appear. A general or tomato-specific fertilizer can be applied as instructed.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
