Expertly grown in Peru, Aji Amarillo peppers have a medium-hot spiciness, measuring 30,000-50,000 SHU. Also known as "escabeche" or "mirasol," these heirloom peppers are a South American delight.

This baccatum plant can grow up to 180 cm and has a longer growing season, making it more cold-resistant compared to other pepper varieties. The name Aji means pepper and Amarillo means yellow, although its color is more of an orange hue.

    No germination

    I know peppers can take a while to germinate but after over a month of waiting I"m convinced my Aji amarillo seeds aren't gonna show. I planted them in soil blocks in flats covered with transparent tops under lights and on heat mats - same as I did (and at the same time) for my Scotch bonnet, Aleppo, and two types of sweet peppers, all of which germinated and are now 3 inches tall. This is my first time trying Aji amarillo. I've read that the seeds don't make it out of southern Mexico except in dried chiles so maybe the seeds I received came via this route and aren't viable? Or maybe something else is going on.

    premature evaluation of seeds:

    Why-the-devil I'm invited to share my thoughts or review of (rather expensive) seeds that have just started to germinate is beyond my understanding. It is typical of places like Caribbeangardenseed and other sellers of small amounts of seeds to be a nuisance, exhorting one to buy more when the purchaser has still to see significant germination from many of the seeds recently received, especially the Capsicum baccatum, which take more time to germinate than the other peppers. They should know that. What foolishness!
