30++ Tabasco Pepper Seeds (Capsicum frutescens) Organic, Heirloom Non-GMO Fresh

Description: 30+ Tabasco Pepper Seeds - Organic, Heirloom Non-GMO Garden Seeds. The tabasco pepper is a variety of the chili pepper species Capsicum frutescens originating in Mexico. It is best known through its use in Tabasco sauce, followed by peppered vinegar. Fresh tabasco peppers are a rich source of vitamin-C and B-complex vitamins. Vitamin-C is a potent water-soluble antioxidant, required for collagen synthesis, and also helps boost immunity against viral diseases. Tabasco and cayenne peppers share a very similar heat profile, but tabasco peppers are known for their juiciness too. That's quite different from cayenne (or any hot pepper), and it could definitely change a recipe's overall flavor. Still, for salsas and hot sauces, tabasco peppers can definitely work. Tabasco peppers start out green and ripen to orange and then red. It takes approximately 80 days after germination for them to fully mature. The tabasco plant can grow to 1.5 m (60 in) tall, with a cream or light yellow flower that will develop into upward-oriented fruits later in the growing season. As they are native to the Mexican state of Tabasco, seeds require much warmth to germinate and grow best when the temperature is between 25–30 °C (77–86 °F). If grown outside of their natural habitat, the peppers are planted two to three weeks after the last frost when soil temperatures exceed 10 °C (50 °F) and the weather has settled. Peppers are temperamental when it comes to setting fruit; if temperatures are too hot or too cool, or if nighttime temperatures fall below 15 °C (60 °F), it can reduce fruit set. A location that receives plenty of light and heat, with soil that is fertile, lightweight, slightly acidic (pH 5.5–7.0), and well-drained, is ideal for growing the plants. Peppers need a steady supply of water for best performance.[6] Growers are careful to make sure that fertilizers and soil are rich in phosphorus, potassium, and calcium and low in nitrogen, which can deter fruit growth.

Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
