Product Description
Pepper Hot Bird Eye Italico is a common variety that produces small 3cm long peppers in bright shades of red. The rule that red peppers are tamer than green varieties doesn't apply to the Bird Eye Italico! This variety sits at a 4 out of 5 on the heat scale. Sow seeds inside from January to February. We don't recommend sowing chilis outside, as they need controlled conditions to thrive early on in the year.

Growing at a glance…
Sow chillies 1/4 inch deep in warm conditions. Ensure you start these seeds off as early as possible in January or February, as they need plenty of time to produce fruit. Grow on a warm windowsill, under a heat lamp, or a heated greenhouse, as these seeds need warmth to germinate.
