How hot is it?
Our earlier product notes call it mildly spicy with a tangy sweetness. We hold no Scoville measurement for this variety, and other yellow cherry-type chinense peppers sold by seed suppliers are listed far hotter, so treat the heat as unconfirmed and taste a pod before cooking with a handful.
Sow warm: soil at 24–30 °C
Start seed indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date and keep the soil at 24–30 °C until seedlings appear. Seed suppliers give a similar range for C. chinense in general (about 21–29 °C).
Planting out and harvest
Transplant when temperatures are consistently warm, 40–50 cm apart, in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly, mulch and feed lightly. Fruit matures about 75–85 days after transplanting.
Perennial in warm climates
Capsicum chinense is a tender perennial: in warm climates a plant can last several years, while in cooler climates it usually does not survive winter. A pot that can come indoors keeps the plant going.
What you get: 5 seeds per packet. We do not state a seed life or germination percentage for this packet.
