Pequin Pepper Seeds

1 review(s) | Add your review

105 days. Capsicum annuum. Open Pollinated. Pequin Pepper. The plant produces good yields of ½" long by ¼" wide hot Bird peppers. This popular hot pepper variety is highly valued in Mexican cuisine. These tiny, fiery-hot peppers turn from green to orange-red to red as they mature. They have a citrusy, nutty, smoky flavor with a fruity note. Heat builds and can linger rather than hitting all at once. The plant has green stems, green leaves, and white flowers. Great for salsas, hot sauces (notably listed in Cholula), pickling, soups, stews, vinegars, oils, flakes, and powder. The name comes from the Spanish pequeño (small). Excellent choice for home gardens. A rare variety from Mexico and the Southwestern USA.

Hot Pepper Planting Information:

Some hot pepper varieties come from tropical, humid regions, while others come from dry desert regions. Temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seed. Too little heat, too much moisture, and poor air circulation can cause poor results. Do not use Jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil, as the soil can become too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Miracle-Gro Seed Starting Material for the best germination results. Read the Hot Pepper Growing Tips and Planting Instructions for information on growing hot peppers from seeds. Please take the time to watch the Hot Pepper Planting Instructions Movie. Plants can grow 1 to 7 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained garden location. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the plant's base.

Water Requirements:

Water thoroughly with soaker hoses during dry, hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow-Release (6-month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.

Harvest Tips:

Harvest hot peppers when fully mature using garden scissors to avoid damaging the plant. Pick peppers as they mature to encourage new buds.

Note: The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor germination results. Warning: Do not use peat pots, plugs, or potting soil for growing hot peppers from seeds as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease, fungus, and poor germination results. Do not use covers or lids as lack of air and condensation moisture will cause poor germination results, disease, and fungus. Use Miracle-Gro© Seed Starting Mix for best germination results.

Very hot pickled, lots of friends and family could not get enough of these peppers. I think they even ate them at breakfast in omelets. They are very good in chili.
