Tinkerbell chilli seeds

Perhaps the oddest chilli we sell, Tinkerbell has 3 or 4 wings attached to the bottom of the fruit, giving them a vaguely bell-like appearance. Though the fruit as a whole are medium hot, the heat is not evenly distributed. Instead, pungency is concentrated in fruit’s central core, while the wings have no discernible heat at all. The fruit mature from green to red, developing a flesh that is crunchy and fairly thick. Odd though they are, the fruit are surprisingly good when used raw in a salad or stuffed with a savoury and baked. The plants yield a decent number of fruit fairly late in the season.
Seaspring seeds
Sea Spring Seeds specialises in chillies, and sells around a hundred different varieties, everyone that we feel is worthwhile, being interesting, flavourful and/or intriguing in some way. The chilli varieties range from very mild to the superhots; from tiny fruit to enormous ones; from miniature plants to ones capable of growing up to 8 ft tall! Many we sell are unique to Sea Spring Seeds, developed through our chilli breeding programme on our our nursery in West Dorset. Dorset Naga, one of the hottest chillies in the world, was one of our first varieties. Being tomato lovers, we have also sourced seed of an extensive range of the very best varieties of tomatoes. These include some of the best tasting tomatoes there are, as well as those displaying a whole range of different types, shapes and colours.
