An informative and inspirational guide aimed at anyone who fancies giving chilli growing a go.

From ‘Hungarian Hot Wax’ to ‘Red Savina’, and ‘Scotch Bonnet’ to ‘Elephant’s Trunk’, chillies come in dozens of shapes, colours and degrees of spiciness – from sweet and succulent to blow-your-head-off hot.

RHS Red Hot Chilli Grower provides everything you need to grow your own chillies from scratch, with step-by-step instructions for sowing seeds, caring for the plants, harvesting the fruit and troubleshooting common problems. Chilli-lovers will also find plenty of background information, such as a short history of the chilli and a guide to Scoville heat units (the official measurement of spicy heat), as well as tasty tips for enjoying the fruits of your work.

Packed with charts, checklists, photographs and illustrations, this is the perfect guide to the world of grow-your-own chillies.
