This pepper earned All-America Selections recognition in 2017 for its excellent performance in both gardens and containers. Its fruits, which are narrow and conical, transition from green to a brilliant red within 70-75 days after transplanting, providing an early harvest of crisp, thin-walled pods. Ají Rico peppers deliver a delightful balance of citrusy sweetness and moderate heat, ranging between 5,000 and 15,000 SHU. These versatile peppers are perfect for fresh eating, salsas, hot sauces, or drying for chili flakes and paprika. With their refreshing flavor and warm heat, Ají Rico peppers offer a delightful twist for culinary enthusiasts. When to Sow & Plant Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, using a heat mat to maintain soil temperatures between 75-85°F. Provide seedlings with 14-16 hours of light daily to encourage strong growth. Once the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay above 65°F, transplant the plants into well-drained soil in full sun, spacing them 24-36 inches apart. These productive plants thrive in warm climates and offer multiple harvests throughout the season. (This is one of my all time favorites!)
