Annual50,000-100,000 SHU. The Chiltepin pepper is a wild, heirloom variety native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Known as the “mother of all peppers,” it produces tiny, round to oval fruits about 0.25 inches in diameter. Despite their small size, Chiltepin peppers pack a fiery punch. The peppers ripen from green to a vibrant red and have a smoky, fruity flavor. Chiltepin plants are hardy perennials in warm climates and grow up to 4 feet tall. They are often used in salsas, hot sauces, and traditional Mexican dishes. Expect 50,000-250,000 Scoville Heat Units depending on the season and your location.
The seeds came and I'm happy with them and they were suppose to ship free, but the only issue i have is i ordered a separate order of 2 trays which i paid shipping on those. They shipped the orders together which isn't an issue. The problem was that the seeds didn't come in a bag together inside the box. They seem to have just thrown them inside the trays which meant that the seeds were rattling inside the box and just tossed around during shipping. I would have thought they would have put them in a bag to keep them together and safe for shipping.
I planted these in May and they took awhile to produce. By August/September, I had a bunch of little peppers. They grew until mid November in Georgia. These peppers are small but hot.
Plenty of pepper.
No latin name on packet
These seeds are hard to germinate. I would say they can take weeks to germinate and they grow slow. Start them early. Sow more than you think. Keep constant warm temps. I wrap the seeded cells with saran wrap or put them in plastic containers that close.
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
