Thai Hot Pepper

85 days from transplant. Capsicum frutescens

Hot and beautiful!

Originally from Thailand, this hot pepper makes a lovely impression in a patio container. The 8-12″ plants are covered with up to 200 small, conical 1/2-1″ fruits that ripen to bright red.

This variety grows well in hot, humid regions.

Scoville scale: 50,000 to 100,000
Contains 15 heirloom seeds

Planting tips: Sow seeds indoors ¼” deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.
