Organic Pimento de Padron Chili Seeds

Info: The Pimento de Padron originates from Spain or the region of Galicia from the area around the town of Padrón. This variety is unusual in that the chillies can look very different from each other, and can also vary in their spiciness. So there are often several mild chilies, and then suddenly a very fiery one.

In Spain this variety is traditionally eaten green as a starter or as tapas. These chilies are usually fried in oil, and a pinch of salt is added to taste. However, they are also suitable for grilling, pickling or stuffing. In many supermarkets they are also offered as grill chillies. A must for all chili fans.

Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 20 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
