Bird Eye Italico Chili Seeds
Info: Bird Eye Italico ist a Birdeye breeding from Italy and one of the most popular Bird eye varieties in Europe. On vigorous compact plants grow lots of the 3 cm long, fiery hot and bright red fruits. They are suitable for eating fresh (if you can stand the heat) or in spicy sauces and traditional Mediterranean pasta dishes (e.g. spaghetti all`arrabbiata).
Care: The germination temperature is between 20 und 28°C (7 - 21 day germination period), therefore the use of a greenhouse and a heating mat is recommended. 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.
