Size:50 Seeds Packet Content (approx.): 10 Seeds Pronounced bee-KEE-nyo, the name of this landrace from Brazil means "little beak," A fruity, sweet-flavoured Brazilian chilli that is known by several names "Chupetinho" and "Biquinho", but others include "pimenta de bico", "Pearl Peppers" and "chupetinha". We at Viridis Hortus we sell this variety under the name "Biquinho Red". Days to Ripe Red - 100-120 days Plant height - 60 - 80 cm Fruit Habit - Pendant Fruit Colour - Yellow-Green turning bright red Fruit Shape - Triangular shaped rounded to little beak Fruit Size (length x diameter) - 3.5 x 2.5 cm Scoville rating - 500 - 1000 Taste - Sweet, fruity and peppery flavour, not much heat Green Thumb Tip Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm. At Planting Time: We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2″ thick layer of compost. The 2 1/2 foot bushes should be spaced 18 inches apart. Heat is mild 4/10 Peppers often like to take their sweet time germinating. They can be up in a week, and some will take almost a month. Even with paper towel germination testing, they can take long. I am not sure why, but it is a normal occurrence. So plan and make sure you start them early enough! Suitable for the allotments and containers. Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.

Good germination rate
I received a small plastic pocket containing ten seeds, which is a bit off-putting. I assume they're seeds for the pearl peppers, but we'll have to wait and see!Anyway, I planted eight seeds, using a heated propagator tray. Seven germinated, and they're now growing well, just produced their second sets of leaves. 7/8 germination rate seems fairly normal to me.

Good results
So far going well with these. All the seeds germinated. Planted mid March, now end of April. From picture shows about 6 weeks growth from sowing. Will have to wait to see how these get on over the next few weeks and how many peppers they end up producing.
