Piquillo Pepper is a Capsicum annuum variety from Navarra, known for its small, elongated, bright red fruits when ripe. Its flavor is sweet and aromatic, with thin skin that makes roasting and peeling easy. Traditionally consumed roasted, stuffed, or preserved, it is a staple ingredient in Spanish cuisine.

The plant requires a warm, sunny climate, fertile and well-drained soil. It is hardy and can be grown in gardens or containers, producing fruits for several months with regular watering and good sun exposure.

How to sow Piquillo Pepper seeds

Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 6-12 hours before sowing. Sow in seed trays at 0.5-1 cm deep, keeping the substrate moist but not waterlogged. Germinates best between 20-28 °C, with seedlings appearing in 7-14 days. Transplant when seedlings have 4-6 true leaves, leaving 30-40 cm between plants. Prefers full sun, regular watering, and light fertilization for optimal fruit production.
