Garden Salsa F1 Hot Pepper
Capsicum annuum
Price: $4.58
SKU: 33100601Choose a variant:
75 Days to maturity. The peppers are long and slender, usually reaching 8 to 9 inches long and sometimes more, with a width of about 1 inch at the shoulders. The skin is thin, glossy, and firm, and the flesh inside is juicy. At around 3,000 Scoville heat units, Garden Salsa sits in the medium heat range. It gives salsa a clear kick without being so hot that people need a warning before trying it.
The flavor is bright and zesty, which makes this a useful all-purpose hot pepper. It works well in fresh salsa, sauces, salads, and roasted dishes, and it can be sliced for pickling. The peppers can also be dried and ground into a spice. You can pick them green, when they already have full flavor, or leave them on the plant to turn red, when they are at their most nutritious.

Sow seeds in sterile potting mix, eight weeks prior to your last expected frost date. Plant seeds at a depth equal to two times their thickness. The optimum soil temperature is 80°F. Germination can be erratic. The most common cause of poor germination is the result of uneven planting depths.
Transplant only after night temperatures average above 55°F. Plants are tender and thrive in warm weather. Blossoms drop if temperatures fall below 60°F or if they get too much nitrogen.
