Hot Pepper-Hot Bhaji

Hot Bhaji is an excellent yielding thick fleshed chili pepper (Capsicum annuum). Light green in color, glosssy very straight and smooth. Medium pungency makes it ideal for dipping in chick pea batter and making bhaji (pakoda). Plants are vigorous and medium tall producing 7-8 inch long peppers. They are also early maturing, with high density fruiting, with high disease, heat, and moisture resistance. Approx 60 seeds per packet, 4500 seeds per oz.

Latin Name: Capsicum anuum

Planting Guidance: Seeds should be sown 8-10 weeks before planting out after last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 in. deep in well-drained soil in shallow flats. Maintain soil temperature at least 75-85 degrees F for good germination. Peppers won’t germinate in cold potting soil–heat makes a big difference in seeds germinating in 5 days, or seeds taking up to 20 days.
