{"product_id":"chilli-purple-tiger","title":"Chilli Pepper - PURPLE TIGER - Capsicum annuum","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \"Purple Tiger\" or \"Trifetti\" cultivar of Chilli (Capsicum sp.) offers gardeners a unique blend of aesthetics and flavour. Adorned with striking purple-tinged foliage, this plant boasts chillies that transition from deep purple to a fiery red as they ripen. Come Birak (early summer), it graces gardens with its delicate white flowers, paving the way for the dual-purpose fruits that are as visually arresting as they are palatable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptimal growth for \"Purple Tiger\" is achieved when planted in full sunlight with well-draining soil, be it in the ground, pots, or a vege\/herb garden. For those considering planting directly in sandy soil, enriching it with a quality soil conditioner is crucial. To keep this chilli thriving, a dose of general-purpose fertiliser in Djilba (early spring) is recommended. The fruits mature approximately 70 days after planting, offering a mild to moderate heat, measuring between 5,000 to 10,000 SHU. While not intensely hot, caution is still prudent when handling and tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eCapsicum annuum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli Pepper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCultivar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003ePurple Tiger, Trifetti\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFruiting and Edible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePBR Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eNorth, Central, South America\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eEvergreen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eChilli plants generally grow 60 cm - 1 M\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eFull sun\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eWell-draining, good quality soil is important for good fruit-set.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 42%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 42%;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 55%;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"width: 55%;\"\u003eThough Chilli plants are tolerant of low water, they will fruit better with regular water in warm weather.

Capsaicin is toxic to most animals if ingested. Humans can tolerate capsaicin, however it can be toxic at high enough levels, so caution must be taken when ingesting chillis. Capsaicin is also harmful to sensitive areas of the skin in humans and animals. Special care should be taken to avoid the eyes, nasal passage and groin in particular.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisclaimer:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eInformation is intended as a guide only.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eUnless otherwise stated, all images are examples only and not photos of the actual plants for sale.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLicensed images are used with permission of the license holder.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benara Nurseries","offers":[{"title":"100 mm","offer_id":40449089405099,"sku":"9332392166790","price":5.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/6545\/2203\/files\/Plant_Chilli_Purple_Tiger_ffaa3efb-21b2-4ce3-952b-4d189f3c3385.jpg?v=1696258581","url":"https:\/\/www.kambagc.com.au\/products\/chilli-purple-tiger","provider":"Kambarang Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
