        			Packet Content (approx.): 10 Seeds  Pronounced bee-KEE-nyo, the name of this landrace from Brazil means &quot;little beak,&quot; A fruity, sweet-flavoured Brazilian chilli that is known by several names &quot;Chupetinho&quot; and &quot;Biquinho&quot;, but others include &quot;pimenta de bico&quot;, &quot;Pearl Peppers&quot; and &quot;chupetinha&quot;. We at Viridis Hortus we sell this variety under the name &quot;Biquinho Red&quot;.  Days to Ripe Red - 100-120 days  Plant height - 60 - 80 cm  Fruit Habit - Pendant  Fruit Colour - Yellow-Green turning bright red  Fruit Shape - Triangular shaped rounded to little beak  Fruit Size (length x diameter) - 3.5 x 2.5 cm  Scoville rating - 500 - 1000  Taste - Sweet, fruity and peppery flavour, not much heat Green Thumb Tip Sow seeds indoors &#xBC;&quot; 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. 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&#x2033; thick layer of compost. The 2 1/2 foot bushes should be spaced 18 inches apart. Heat is mild 4/10 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!  Suitable for the allotments and containers. Be prepared to water well and supplement feed with high-potash feed during season. Regular feeding is recommended.

## Features

- A fruity, sweet-flavoured Brazilian chilli that is known by several names Chupetinho and Biquinho, but others include pimenta de bico, Pearl Peppers
- The bright red 1 inch pods taper to a point like an inverted teardrop. The pepper has the distinctive smoky flavour like other members of this species, but also a rich fruitiness that is enhanced by sugar or sweet-and-sour marinades. It also makes the perfect garnish for barbecues and pickles.
- Sow: seeds indoors ¼ ins 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 On: 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.
- Viridis Hortus offers discounted postage costs for multiple purchases - you only pay one postage price regardless of the mix of varieties or quantities of packets you purchase per order UK only:

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good germination rate
        
*by P***L on 6 February 2019*

I received a small plastic pocket containing ten seeds, which is a bit off-putting. I assume they're seeds for the pearl peppers, but we'll have to wait and see!Anyway, I planted eight seeds, using a heated propagator tray. Seven germinated, and they're now growing well, just produced their second sets of leaves. 7/8 germination rate seems fairly normal to me.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not many seeds per pack - germination rate was 7/10 ...
        
*by M***L on 5 June 2018*

Not many seeds per pack - germination rate was 7/10 using a heated tray. Not fruited yet but looking forward to my first crop !
  

### ⭐⭐ Seeds
        
*by A***N on 6 September 2018*

Thought I was getting a packet of seeds professionally done. 🤨 clear plastic packet could contain anything
