Capsicum Annuum – 10 seeds.       

Calling all Tapas lovers!

The Padron pepper is a popular Spanish heirloom pepper well known for its use in tapas where the young, green peppers are are fried in olive oil until blistered and then served with a pinch of salt. Generally the peppers are very mild when young but occasionally there is a rogue spicy pepper which brings some fun!

The pepper seeds should be sown in trays or modules from Jan – Mar at 18-21C. Pot on when seedlings are large enough to handle and continue to pot on as they grow. Plant out in late spring/early summer. For best yields grow in a greenhouse.
