- A small mid 'hot' pepper traditionally used in Tapas.

What you need to know:
- 1 x Mr Fothergills Pepper (Hot) Padron Seeds
- Harvest: July to October
- Indoors Sowing Guide: For greenhouse crops, sow indoors, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, thinly in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 7-21 days. Transplant to individual pots when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler, but not cold conditions. Plant out to large pots, growing bags or greenhouse border.
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: For outdoor crops, delay indoor sowing until March or April. Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 40cm (16”) apart, when frosts are over. Choose a warm, sunny sheltered spot. Outdoor crops will be smaller and later than those in a greenhouse.
- Soil Type: Warm, well-drained soil
- Hints & Tips: For ‘tapas’ harvest when green and the size of an olive, fry whole in olive oil and add sea salt. Larger peppers gain heat and can be used as other chilli peppers Packed
