Organic Ziegenhorn Chili Seeds 1000 Stk.

Information: The Goat Horn chili is also known as "Bull`s Horn" or "Corno di Toro." The fruits actually have this shape; they are slightly curved, pointed peppers with juicy, thick-fleshed walls and an intense pepper aroma, ranging from mild to medium heat. The plant is a prolific producer and is ideally suited for container gardening, though it also thrives outdoors in sheltered locations. When ripe, the pointed peppers are a bright red color and can reach up to 20 cm in length. They are suitable for eating fresh, as an addition to salads and salsas, and their flavor makes them excellent for grilling, pickling, cooking, frying, and stuffing.

Care: Germination temperature is between 20°C and 28°C (germination period: 7-18 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. Take care to place Corno di Toro chilies in a sunny position when planting them outside (do not do so until after the last frost). To keep them over the winter, cut them back by 20cm after harvesting and place them in a pot in a light place where it is at least 15°C.
