30+ Tabasco Hot Pepper Seeds (capsicum frutescens)Hot Chili Pepper Made Tabasco Sauce Fresh Garden USA
The small but might pepper which have made Tabasco sauce famous!This variety was developed from Mexican seeds in 1866, and the potent pepper has retained respect around the world. Tabasco hot pepper seed grows best in a very warm climate. Pick them red, green or yellow, the color is an indicator of heat, the red ones contain 40,000 Scoville Heat Units.
Sowing: Start pepper seeds indoors in peat pots about 8 weeks before the last expected spring frost. Sow them 1/4" deep and keep the soil at 80-85 degrees F until germination; provide sunlight or a grow light for 12-16 hours a day. When the outdoor temperature reaches 60-65 degrees F during the day and no less than 50 degrees F at night, transplant the seedlings 12-16" apart. Exposing the plants to the weather for several hours a day before transplanting may help prevent shock. Peppers also grow well in containers or raised beds.
Growing: Keep the soil evenly moist and weeds under control; mulching the plants may help with this. If excess heat and sun cause the plants to wilt, provide shade.
Harvesting: Harvesting hot peppers is basically a matter of personal preference. Generally, the longer the peppers mature on the vine, the hotter they will taste. Mature peppers, however, signal the plant to stop producing; if the peppers are picked when still at the green stage, the plant will go on producing. Always use a knife or scissors to remove peppers to prevent damage to the fragile stems. Cayenne peppers are extremely versatile and can be used fresh, dried, or for seasoning.
