Tabasco, Hot Pepper

Incredibly hot with a delicious smoky flavor, this is THE pepper made famous by the Tabasco Brand Pepper sauce since 1848! Plants grow to 4 feet tall as the Tabasco Peppers mature from creamy yellow to orange to red. It will thrive in a container as well, protected from the frost. Tabasco Pepper plants can live for several years.

In early spring, start seeds indoors eight weeks before warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4" deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light, and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are six true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30" apart, or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are full-size and glossy red.
