Fruits borne prolifically on compact 18\" tall plants. The name Piquillo means \"Little Beaks.\" An heirloom from the Basque Country that has taken a very circuitous multi-oceanic journey to find its way to Boise (see below).

When the European colonizers came, they took chiles back to Europe, referring to them as peppers because of their spicy flavor, which reminded them of peppercorns. Now chiles are beloved and cultivated by cultures all over the world, and despite the devastating legacy of colonization, the descendants of their original seed stewards continue to persist and cultivate them today. Sweet peppers are a relatively modern concoction, but one we are very grateful for!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before last frost.
