Broccoli – Piracicaba (Organic)
£2.25 Add to basketBroccoli – Piracicaba (Organic)
A real treat in the garden, Piracicaba is a sweet, flavourful broccoli that’s perfect for picking over a long period. The initial central head is relatively small, however it produces an abundance of loose florets with large beads on long, tender stems which make it ideal for regular harvesting. Thriving in warmer conditions where other broccolis might struggle, it’s a brilliant choice for extending your season. We grew it in 2024 and absolutely loved it, it was one of those crops we were always happy to see more of.

Chilli – Adam’s Sweet and Hot (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2026***
£1.95 Add to basketChilli – Adam’s Sweet and Hot (Organic) ***NEW FOR 2026***
Remarkable chilli/pepper variety of sweet flavour with a fruity heat. Discovered by Adam Alexander in a market in Donetsk, Ukraine in 1989, this sweet and gently spiced pepper has been grown in South Wales ever since with plants selected for earliness and flavour. The fruits are slightly ribbed, flattened, and about the size of an apple. When eaten fresh they are exceptionally sweet, crunchy, and full of flavour, with a subtle heat towards the top of the fruit that makes them per definition a chilli, although we think of it more like a pepper.
Plants are short, stocky, and very productive, with red fruits that hold well once ripe. They can be grown outdoors in a sunny spot or under cover.
Firm favourite across the Vital Seeds team and number one winner of our 2023 pepper and chilli trials.
