The Tiny Tim is a compact ornamental chilli variety developed in the United States, widely grown for its dwarf habit and suitability for indoor and container cultivation. It is a well-documented variety often used as a decorative edible plant.
Pods are small, round to slightly oval, and borne upright above the foliage. They ripen from green to bright red, creating a strong ornamental contrast against the compact plant. The fruits have relatively thin walls and are produced in abundance.
Flavour is mildly pungent with a gentle heat, typically in the range of 1,000–5,000 SHU, placing it in the Mild category. The pods can be used fresh or dried, though they are more commonly grown for ornamental purposes.
Plants are very compact and bushy, usually reaching around 20–30 cm in height, making them ideal for windowsills, small pots, and decorative displays. They are highly productive for their size and perform well in controlled growing environments.
Tiny Tim has been cultivated for many years as a reliable ornamental chilli, valued for its neat growth and colourful fruit display. It remains a popular choice for growers seeking a small, manageable plant with edible fruits.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
