Varieties of Chili
Which variety suits you depends on site, space and taste. Here are the Chili varieties with their particulars.
- ‚Cayenne‘You will find this variety behind the Cayenne pepper on the spice shelf, a reliable all‑rounder for your home garden.
- ‚Habanero Orange‘A true heat classic from the *Capsicum chinense* family that you will grow best in a greenhouse or against a warm wall in DACH regions.
- ‚Hungarian Hot Wax‘An early, uncomplicated variety that ripens reliably even in a cooler gardening year, because it does not need a long spell of heat.
- ‚Jalapeño‘Probably the best known chilli for the home garden and a rewarding start if you do not like it too hot.
- ‚Lemon Drop‘This Peruvian Capsicum baccatum variety brings an unusually clear lemon aroma into the garden.
- ‚NuMex Twilight‘A compact ornamental chilli that is genuinely hot and fully usable at the same time, which makes it ideal for the balcony and the windowsill.
- ‚Padrón‘The famous tapas chillies from Galicia, which you harvest young and green and fry in olive oil in the pan.
- ‚Serrano‘The Mexican salsa classic, hotter than the *‚Jalapeño’* and with a thinner skin that can be processed directly without peeling.
