| 73 days. Just the right amount of heat (3,000 Scovilles) for the Mexican sauces and fresh salsa you love! This chili pepper grows to 8 or 9 inches, with glossy green skin that will turn red if left on the plant (but is best picked green for salsa). The fruit is skinny and succulent on plants that demonstrate excellent resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. Start seeds indoors or, in climate with short growing seasons, outdoors at least one week after last frost. If starting indoors, allow 7 to 10 weeks for the seeds to mature into seedlings large enough to transplant safely. Fertilize when the blooms appear, and water well. Fruit is most nutritious if allowed to ripen on the plant. Pkt is 25 seeds. |
