Heirloom Vegetable

Through trial and error we discovered that these can be placed in a basement or garage over the winter to go dormant. In the spring time they will begin to sprout leaves very quickly. You will have the earliest peppers producing in your area, from very well-established plants. They love heat, so make sure to put them in the hottest greenhouse you have available!

75 Days to Harvest!

160 seeds/gram Start indoors mid February to late March. Use a soil-less growing mix. Sow seed 6 mm (1/4") deep. Maintaining the growing medium at a temperature of 21 C (70 F) will enhance germination. Grow the seedlings under bright light and temperatures of 16-21 C (60-70 F) to produce strong, stocky plants. Transplant after hardening off, in late May to early June. Full sun and a well-drained soil is best. Space the plants 30 cm (12") apart in rows spaced 60 cm (24") apart. Control weeds and avoid high nitrogen fertilizers. Try harvesting the peppers at different maturities to experience a wider range of flavours and textures. Staking is recommended with most varieties. Note: Estimated days to maturity are based on counting the days after transplanting.
