Product description
Pepper Thai Dragon is a compact, bushy variety of chilli that really packs a punch. Not only will you have an abundance of fresh, hot chilli peppers, but this makes an excellent ornamental plant thanks to the unique manner in which the peppers grow upwards rather than hanging down.
Plant your Pepper Thai Dragon plant in moist, well-drained soil, in full sun - these plants would be excellent for growing in greenhouses. Keep it well-watered throughout the growing season and it can produce up to 200 peppers. These chillies are favourites in Asian and Thai cuisine, so this is the ideal plant for anyone who enjoys adding some heat to their cooking.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
