These tiny, juicy little peppers pack a punch at 30,000 - 50,000 Scoville heat units. Famously included in the New Orleans-based hot sauce. Peppers grow on 4 ft tall plants with the fruits pointing upwards. 80 days to maturity.
Start inside in seed trays 8 weeks before transplanting. Harden off seedlings and set out after all threat of frost, ideally when night temperatures have reached 60°. Water transplants well. Only direct sow outdoors in very hot climates. Too little heat will inhibit germination and growth.
