Dente di Coyote Chili Seeds

Info: The Dente de Coyote Chili is a special variety with small elongated ivory fruits that look like a coyote fang. It was bred by the Italian chili pope Massimo Biagi at the University of Pisa. The plants grow quickly and expansively and produce early a variety of pretty, about 4 cm long and quite hot chillies. They are suitable for fresh consumption, pickling and for sauces.

Care: Germination temperature is between 22°C and 28°C (germination period: 6-20 days); it is therefore recommended to use a greenhouse and a heating mat. The plants need fresh, well-fertilised permeable soil and should not be left in standing water. They should be placed in a sunny, sheltered place with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day, if not more. Place the plants outside around 2 to 3 weeks after the last frost.
