Park Seed Quickfire Hot Pepper Seeds, Fast Features
-
A hybrid hot pepper, Quickfire is grown as a fruit vegetable. Although Quickfire is highly ornamental, it is typically grown for its high yields of tasty peppers.
-
The attractive plant sets small, star-shaped "perfect" flowers followed by a profusion of 1.7-inch, conical green fruits that mature red and stand erect on the plant. These Thai-type chilies are hot, rating 40,000 units on the Scoville scale. Use fresh or dried and ground as a spice. Hot peppers are a good source of vitamin C.
-
Typically grown as an annual, Quickfire, an herbaceous, frost-tender, short-lived evergreen perennial, is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). A Capsicum annum, commonly called cayenne pepper, chili pepper, or hot pepper, Quickfire grows rapidly, forming a very compact, bushy plant with ovate, smooth-margined, dark green leaves.
-
Quickfire Hot Pepper is easy to grow from seed. It prefers a sunny location with fertile, organically rich, moist, well-draining soil but is adaptable to a wide range of soils. It is a low maintenance plant but pinching back young plants encourages bushiness.
-
A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, chili pepper seeds can be direct sown into warm spring soil after all threat of frost has passed. For an earlier harvest, seeds can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting.
About Park Seed Quickfire Hot Pepper Seeds, Fast
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
