Unwins Chilli Pepper Padron Seeds

Bring a taste of Spain to your kitchen garden with Unwins Chilli Pepper Padron Seeds — the famous Spanish tapas chilli loved for its fun, unpredictable heat. Often called “chilli roulette”, around 2 in every 10 fruits are hot, while the rest stay mild, making every bite a little surprise.

For the best traditional flavour, pick the chillies young and green, when they’re usually milder and perfect for frying, roasting, or adding to stir-fries. As the fruits mature, they become noticeably hotter, giving you extra flexibility in the kitchen. These plants produce masses of long, thin peppers, and any surplus can be dried into chilli flakes for year-round use. Ideal for pots and containers, Padron is a must-grow for chilli lovers.
