Overview
Quickfire F1 from Tozer Seeds is a 2022 AAS national winner and one of the smallest edible peppers around: the bushy plants top out at about 6 inches yet set a heavy crop of upward-pointing conical fruit, 1.7 inches long, ripening to bright red. Heat is serious, around 40,000 Scoville, in the Thai-chili style. The tiny size and speed (about 50 days from transplant, 65 from seed) make it a natural for a sunny windowsill, a patio pot or the front of a bed, and sowing every few months keeps fresh chilies coming year round. It is not frost hardy. Pick regularly to keep the plant flowering.
