Korean Hot Pepper Seeds (30)

Korean Hot Pepper Seeds (Capsicum annuum) 30 seeds

The "Korean Hot" is a hot Korean pepper with a very decorative appearance. The bushy plants thrive on windowsills and produce abundant fruit. They ripen irregularly and in many different colors, so you can find creamy white, reddish-orange, and bluish-colored fruits on the same plant at the same time.

Its fruits are very hot, reaching between 25,000 and 40,000 Scoville, called torrid.

Sow in February-March in pots of fine seed compost in a heated greenhouse (25°C). Peppers need a high temperature at the beginning of their development as well as a little humidity but not too much. Germination within 3 weeks.
Plant out in May in deep, loose soil, in a warm, sunny location, sheltered from the wind, 50 cm apart in all directions. Hoeing, watering and mulching.
If you do not live in a warm region, growing in a greenhouse is highly recommended.

Peppers will appreciate cohabitation with other nightshades: Peruvian groundcherry, Balbis nightshade, peppers, tomatoes, etc.

5 to 6 months after sowing approximately when the peppers are fully ripe.
Pick as needed or dry in the sun or oven.

Reproducible seeds harvested exclusively in the Pot'à'Jo garden, a 1500m² horticultural and permaculture market garden. Everything is grown with a deep respect for nature and its inhabitants. I have been growing my own seeds for years, from seed to seed.
