Love all the veg we grow, but I am hooked on growing different chillies! hotter the better. I have read about Dragons breath chilli and supposed to be hotter than Reaper. I can't find anybody that sells them. Have you guys any idea?
many thanks

I expect that it will be on sale some time after it makes an appearance at Chelsea. I couldn't find any suppliers of seed either, at present.

I have tried growing some of the more obscure(usually difficult) chillies, paying quite a lot of money for very few seeds and often getting zero success. Try pre soaking them and I hope you have more success than me, I do grow chillies, but now only grow the easier ones like de Cayenne and Hungarian hot wax.

I have my first few chillies formed on the over wintered plant, busy pollinating flowers with my little paint brush.

They will be late, but if you over winter and treat as a perennial you should do fine.
