Vietnamese CHILI Pepper SEEDS ( capsicum frutescens) ASIAN VEGETABLE

Peppers do very well grown in pots.. 

These are authentic Vietnamese chili peppers from a private contact in Vietnam. These might not look like much, but these peppers are like little missiles. But we all know the heat that authentic food from that region of the world can have. This is a capsicum frutescens variety, which resembles cayenne a lot in it shape, thin walls and bitter undertone. But it packs the same sting as other frutescens types like the bird’s eye chili, which at one time was the hottest pepper on record.

If you’re a regular chili eater, accustomed to habaneros and nagas, this will probably be a good common use pepper for you because it will give you enough heat to satisfy your crave, but it should leave you enough freedom to still enjoy and focus on what you’re eating. If you’re the type of person that finds crushed red pepper in the jar spicy, then this might be the go-to pepper when you’re feeling like living on the edge a bit.
Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm.
Growing Peppers:
Peppers, like tomatoes, grow in well-drained fertile soil. Almost all peppers have the same requirements for successful growth. Plant them in good, well-drained, fertile soil and make sure they get lots of sunlight and a good inch of water per week. In many ways, they mimic the same requirements needed for growing great tomatoes.
At Planting Time:
We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2″ thick layer of compost.
Peppers often like to take their sweet time germinating. They can be up in a week, and some will take almost a month. Even with paper towel germination testing, they can take long. I am not sure why, but it is a normal occurrence. So plan and make sure you start them early enough! Also, remember they like heat to germinate so make sure you have a heating mat or something to keep the soil warm. Placing them up on top of the fridge often works too since it is normally warmer up there.
