Start indoors in soil at 24–29 °C
Start seed indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost and hold the soil at 24–29 °C until the seedlings are up.
Planting out
Move plants outside only after the risk of frost has passed. Space them 45–60 cm apart in full sun and rich, well-drained soil, and water moderately: the plant does not like constantly wet soil. Ripe pods come about 80–100 days after transplanting.
Pickling and fresh use
The small pods are used whole for pickling, as a garnish on salads and cheese boards, and in mild sauces and relishes.
What you get
The packet holds 5 seeds of Biquinho Salmon, enough for five plants if every seed comes up. We do not state a germination percentage for this packet.
