Whippets Tail Chili Seeds

Information: The Whippet`s Tail Chili comes from Italy. In fact, these chillies are long, thin and slightly curved and can reach a length of up to 30 cm. They ripen to a bright red colour, have a good heat and are excellent for seasoning sauces and salsas, for drying and making ristras, long panicles or rings of dried chili pods.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 8-21 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised, permeable soil, and do not tolerate waterlogging. They should be planted in a sunny, protected place with at least 6 hours of sunlight - preferably more. Put the plants outside approx. 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
