Care instructions
Screaming hot little peppers turn a rainbow of vibrant colors; from purple, cream, yellow, orange to red as they ripen. Need I say ornamental? The plants are great for containers inside. Just pick a few any time to liven up your salsa.

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost date of spring. Surface-sow or barely cover the seeds, which benefit from light to hurry germination. Keep the seed-tray in warm conditions, but do not allow to dry out. When sprouts appear, move to a sunny window or grow-light. Set out well-developed transplants after last frost date when weather is warm. Peppers need rich soil.
