Pequin / Piquin - Bird Pepper Seeds: A Tiny Pepper with Mighty Heat
Discover the fiery charm of Pequin / Piquin - Bird Pepper Seeds, a native gem of the Southwest U.S. and Mexico. These tiny chiles pack a super-hot punch, reaching up to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them a must-have for spice enthusiasts. Known affectionately as "bird pepper" due to birds' love for them (they can't feel the heat!), these peppers are also called turkey pepper, chilipiquin, or even cayenne in some regions.
Why Grow Pequin Peppers?
These hardy plants grow up to 4' tall, producing an abundance of 1/2" oval peppers that mature from green to bright red. The flavor is complex and nutty, perfect for adding depth to salsas, hot sauces, or traditional South Texan pequin-infused vinegar. Plus, they bear fruit most of the year and can withstand mild winters!
Pequin peppers need a long growing season, they typically can take over 3 months, between 90 to 130 days, to start producing peppers, so start them extra early indoors if you grow in a short season climate.
How to Grow Pequin Peppers
Start your Pequin / Piquin - Bird Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before warm nights. Plant in sterile media, cover 1/4" deep, and keep at 85°F with bright light. Seeds sprout in 7-21 days. Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into rich soil, spaced 36" apart. Each packet contains 10 GMO-free seeds.
Bring the Heat to Your Garden!
Whether you're a chili lover or a gardener seeking a resilient, flavorful pepper, these heirloom seeds are a fantastic choice. Add a bottle of homemade pequin vinegar to your table and keep the South Texan tradition alive.
