Non-GMO, annual, hybrid, open-pollinated, high-yielding, deer-resistant, heat-tolerant, drought-tolerant, hot pepper with hot heat levels. 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units. Suitable for growing in containers, garden plots, raised beds, and greenhouses. This pepper really packs a punch in heat and in flavor. It is also extremely abundant, producing approximately 300 peppers per plant under ideal conditions. Definitely a favorite in many Asian dishes, but can be used fresh, dried, or pickled as well. Plants bear upright clusters of 2-3-inch hot peppers, which mature to a fiery red. Compact plants grow up to 16 inches with beautiful foliage. Thai Dragon type.~3,360 seeds/oz.
Begin by sowing seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Plant seeds 0.25 inch deep in a quality seed-starting mix, maintaining a soil temperature of 70 F or higher to ensure optimal germination. Expose the seedlings to at least 12 hours of direct light once they germinate. When they develop their first true leaves, fertilize with a diluted liquid feed (fertilizer). Once seedlings develop at least two pairs of true leaves and reach 4-5 inches in height, transplant them into individual containers. When moving them outdoors, wait until nighttime temperatures stay above 50 F. Harden them off gradually. Space them at least 12 inches apart in the garden. For containers, plant just one plant per 18 inches and use a container that is at least 12 inches wide and holds at least 3 gallons of soil.
Water the plants when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may stress the plant and affect fruit quality. Once the plants begin flowering, apply a tomato-type fertilizer to support fruit development. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and frequency. Monitor for common pests such as aphids and caterpillars.
The peppers mature from green to bright red, although they can be harvested at any color stage depending on desired heat and flavor. Use scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers, leaving a small part of the stem attached to prolong shelf life.
This F1 hybrid, a first-generation cross between two distinct parent plants, offers uniformity and vigor, making it a reliable choice for growers.
These peppers are ideal for adding heat to Asian dishes, drying for chili flakes, or pickling. Thanks to their abundant harvest, most homes will only need one plant for all the peppers they desire!
The Thai Super Chili F1 Hybrid stands out for its combination of ornamental beauty and culinary utility.
Being, on average, 10-15 times spicier than the typical jalapeno, you don’t need many of these to add delicious spice and flavor to a recipe. It’s even a good idea to wear gloves whenever you’re handling these peppers. You also want to make sure that you are thoroughly washing your hands after touching these and before touching anything else.
When a pepper is referred to as a "Thai Dragon type," it means it's part of a group of chili peppers that share similar size, shape, growth habits, and heat levels with the classic Thai Dragon pepper, a popular variety used in Southeast Asian cuisine.
"Hybrid varieties have a lot of advantages. They are typically hardier and more resistant than the average pepper variety. Even if they aren’t said to be specifically resistant to a certain pest or disease, they have something called ‘hybrid vigor’ that helps them to survive and thrive in even less than ideal conditions."
