WEST COAST SEEDS PEPPERS AJI RICO

  • Capsicum baccatum. Aji is a standard pepper throughout South America. One of the reasons it is not well known here is its slow growth and heat demands.
  • Aji Rico really shows the best of what can be achieved through hybrid plant breeding.
  • Compared to many of the open pollinated heirloom peppers, it boasts faster maturity, better vigour, and higher yields.
  • The tasty pods are medium hot, maturing to full size as green chilies in 50-55 days. Add another twenty days for mature red pods, and the sweet, full-bodied flavour that comes with them.
  • The fruits average 8-10cm (3-4 inches) long, with thin walls and a conical shape.
  • The plants are large in stature at 76-91cm (30-36 inches) tall, so they benefit from staking or a trellis.
  • These AAS Award winning peppers retain their floral, citrus flavour in cooking, and the heat level can be reduced by removing the seeds an pith.
  • Matures in 70-75 days. (Hybrid seeds)

    Growing Pepper Seeds

  • Peppers need plenty of time to mature before they will bloom and set fruit.
  • Start indoors six to eight weeks before the last frost date, grow under bright lights.
  • Transplant only when weather has really warmed up. Night time low temperatures should be consistently above 12°C (55°F) before hardening off pepper plants and transplanting outdoors.
  • Soil temperature for germination: 25-29°C (78-85°F). Using a heat mat for your pepper seeds is ideal. Seeds should sprout in 10 – 21 days.
