The special thing about the Padron chili is that it varies greatly in strength. Approximately. 5% of the fruits are quite hot and the rest are mild - that's why it's also called 'Russian roulette chili'. The seeds are only lightly covered with soil. Thrives in a sunny position in a sheltered growing area in nutrient and humus rich soil. Water regularly. After sowing, the soil is kept moist until germination has started properly.
