CALICO HOT PEPPER is a beautiful and extremely hot ornamental pepper that is just aT home indoors (under grow light and on a heat mat) as it is in the ornamental border or vegetable garden. A nicely rounded bush of variegated foliage with deep purple to fiery red small peppers about an inch long with a conical shape. Very drought tolerant, this is a popular seedling it really catches the eye, even at its pre-fruiting stage. 68 days from transplant.

Whether Sweet or Heat, peppers must be started indoors and really appreciate bottom warmth 80' and grow lights for vigorous starts. Hot peppers will be hotter as the temperature rises. Use gloves when handling hot pepper seeds and some of the hot peppers themselves. Start peppers indoors 8 weeks before transplanting. Sow seeds 1/4" deep. Keep soil moist. Peppers may take up to two weeks to pop up. When weather warms (daytime soil near 80' and nighttime temps above 50' you can transplant into rich prepared soil in a sunny position, about 18'' apart and, if in rows, about 24'' apart. I like to give my peppers some support, usually a stake or cage, as productive plants can keel over from the weight of their fruit. Consider spacing your peppers around your vegetable garden, as they can be helpful in warding off furry invaders of your greens and such. Use organic mulch to fend off weeds and keep soil moist in hot dry summers. These need regular moderate water but water from below to avoid spreading blossom end rot. Peppers are versatile. .
