Aji Amarillo Seeds

Good germination (about 95%) and they seem to be doing well. They're starting to get their true leaves and growing on despite temperature swings. They've also been pretty hardy with being on a heat mat, cycling through dry to moist soil conditions. Thanks Sandia Seed Co

See my original review on July 22. I am revising and increasing my rating. After my post, in early August here in the northeast, my Aji Amarillo plants exploded with fruit. Literally hundreds of peppers on 8 plants (fyi, plants grew to 7+ feet tall). It was indicated that this pepper plant takes a long time to mature and produce peppers, so I guess I wasn't patient enough. I'll start them a month earlier, cut back on nitrogen early, so that I might get some to actually ripen on the vine (almost all of them I harvested still green before frost). Delicious pepper and the perfect amount of heat.

Ordered these two seeds based on information I read. Aji Amarillo used in Peruvian cooking. Spicy hot but not killer hot with a hint of fruity flavour.
Found Tepin interesting and a challenge. Small almost peppercorn size with a punch eaten raw. Supposed to be hard to be grow.
Planted both seeds and both grew well. Took the Aji Amarillo indoors on a sunny window and left the Tepin in a green house 0C temperature zone 5.
Still have both plants growing on its second year.

Had high hopes - started indoors in Feb, only had one seed from the packet germinate. Put into raised bed, plant grew exceptionally well but took forever to produce a pepper. Eventually the plant was full of peppers, but not a single one reached maturity (and we had a really warm fall). Very disappointing. Green peppers taste ok, but absolutely no heat.
