Tips
This classic heirloom hot chili pepper has been in circulation for over 7,000 years. An abundant producer of pretty bright red 5” slender pods, with plenty of heat and a zesty pungent flavor. Hang them in your kitchen for easy access. Also used as a traditional healing herb by many herbalists.
Start seeds indoors about 8-10 weeks before last frost (late Feb-early March). Seeds germinate best in warm soil; once seedlings are established, keep them at cooler temps (55℉) to toughen them up. Transplant 2-4 weeks after last frost when soil temp. reaches 75°F ; space 14-18” apart.
