Taxonomically, it is classified within variety glabriusculum of the species Capsicum annuum. Chili pequin can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, sauces, and salsas. It can also be used to spice up meats, vegetables, and rice. To use chili pequin, the pepper can be fresh, dried, or powdered. Use this ornamental pepper as accents underneath shade trees, but since birds (especially mockingbirds) love the chilies, it will spread and re-seed readily, so be sure to give it lots of room.FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

You should not use the information provided here for diagnosing or treating a health problem or disease or prescribing any medication or other treatment. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
