Pepper Seeds - Hot - Japanese - Takanotsume

Start seeds inside 6 weeks before last frost date (or 8 weeks before expected transplanting date). Keep soil warm until emergence. Seeds will not germinate in cool soil and planting out too early may affect plant vigor. Harden off plants carefully before transplanting. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Transplant in late spring/summer (soil temperatures at least above 60°F) in a very warm and sunny location. Fertilize as needed. Use fresh or dried. Nice flavor used whole in stir-fry. The mature dried peppers are finely ground and used in shichimi togarashi, a popular Japanese condiment.

Also known as: chilli api, la chiao, la jiao, lombok kecil, miris, murich, ot, prik chi faa, siling labuyo, togarashi.
