Research your average first frost date(in the fall) and subtract the amount of days the seeds take to grow to maturity that you found listed on the packet. To figure out the best time to start your seeds first locate the "days to maturity" located in the item description or photo with Seed specifications in our Shop. These inoculants can be purchased online or at some garden stores. Seeds can be treated with a soil inoculant that contains the Rhizobium bacteria prior to planting to ensure that the beneficial bacteria is present. *Certain beans and peas have the ability to form a symbiotic relationship with Rhizobium bacteria to form root nodules that “fix” atmospheric nitrogen making it a great addition for your soil ecosystem. Please check the item listing for this information. * Some seeds like lettuce and certain flowers require light for germination. Soaking overnight or up to 24 hours helps to jump start the germination process for seeds with a hard seed coat while scarification involves gently scratching the seed coat to allow water to penetrate and hydrate the embryo. *Some seeds require soaking or scarification prior to germination. Store seeds in a cool dark place and use them within one year of purchase to maintain viability and high germination rates. Seed The Stars can not take responsibility for germination issues using other methods and materials.* Our high germination rates can only be achieved using the methods shared below.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Red Biquinho falls into the mild heat category on the Scoville heat units ranging 500-1,000. This scale is the measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods as reported in Scoville heat units (SHU), a function of capsaicin concentration. We prefer using the Scoville scale to explain the heat of our peppers, because what's spicy or hot to one person may differ to another. Our seeds are non GMO and open pollinated. Plants are raised using natural methods and organic practices. Seed the Stars is an urban gardening company focused on raising naturally grown and locally adapted seeds. We also like to sun-dry them! A very high yielding variety, we have over-wintered plants to survive 3+ years of nearly perpetual harvest in Florida. An absolute foodie favorite, a must have for garnishing meals, pickling in vinegar, or adding to cocktails. Teardrop shaped pods burst with a crisp sweet flavor followed by tangy smoky notes. 100+Fresh Red Biquinho Heirloom Pepper Seeds (Pimenta de Bico/Chupetinha/Little Beak/Pearl Pepper/Sweety Drop Pepper)
