Here is the Primo Lucifer Pepper, Capsicum chinense, Scoville units: 1,100,000 to 1,800,000 SHU. The Primo Lucifer Pepper origins are unknown and no info anywhere on the internet. We found this variety to be an amazing variety and may just be an XL 7 pot primo? but we don't know. This extremely warty ultra hot pepper variety has a thin wall thickness an fruits get to 1.5 to almost 3 inch across and turns from green to orange to red when fully ripe. Plants can get to 48+ inches tall but often times they stay around 30 inches tall. Pods are insanely hot and have a really nice fruity smell. These go great in salads, hot sauce and salsa! We found this to be a very productive variety and easy to grow in northern climates. Usually fruits first year and did really well in a 1 gallon pot. Plants can live for many years in pots and tend to stay around 33 inches tall and ornate. A must grow for any collector! Open pollinated, mid-late season, super hot, perennial, easy to medium grow, 79 to 100+ days to overwinter for many years. LOT# 4 SEC1C TAG# 227-2022

GERMINATION INFO
Peppers require a long warm season to produce fruits, taking from 58 to 100 days to mature. Although grown as an annual throughout most of the country, peppers survive as perennials in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9b, 10 and 11. Ornamental, sweet and hot peppers all require the same conditions for germination and fruit production.
1. Start pepper seeds six to eight weeks before you plan to plant them outside. Use planting trays or pots with drainage holes and a separate water tray to allow excess moisture to drain.
2. Wash planting trays or pots with hot water and soap. Mix nine parts water with one part bleach and rinse the containers with the mixture to remove any bacteria and fungus.
3. Fill the planting container with seed starting mix. Use a packaged soilless blend or make your own using one-third peat, one-third sand and one-third vermiculite.
4. Broadcast the pepper seeds across the seed starting medium. Cover them with a light layer of the medium about twice as thick as the seed width.
5. Mist the planted container with room temperature water until the starting mix feels damp all the way through. Cover the tray or pots with a humidity dome or plastic film.
6. Place the planters in a warm location. Pepper seeds need temperatures around 70 to 80 degrees F to germinate. Use a seed starting heat mat with thermostat to ensure consistent and accurate temperatures.
7. Check the peppers daily for moisture levels and seedlings. Mist as needed to keep the soilless mix moist. Germination takes seven to 14 days for most varieties of peppers. Remove the plastic cover when seedlings appear.
