A traditional Spanish variety known as the 'tapas chilli' as that's where they often end up. Padrón (Capsicum annuum) produce lots of medium sized chilis which can be picked young and green or let to ripen to red and hotter. Plants grow to about 70cm tall. They get laden with fruits and quite top heavy so need supporting or they will fall over. Take care when sowing as the capsaicinoid chemicals which give chillies their heat is abundant on the seeds.
