The listing, 100 Hot Cherry Bomb Pepper Seeds has ended.
For those of you who like it hot, get 100 seeds to grow these wonderful Hot Cherry Bomb Peppers (Capsicum annuum) in your garden.
Producing 30-50% more than open pollinated species, these have a thick wall and are great for pickling.
* Best grown in zones 3-11
* 65 days to harvest
* Transplant outdoors 3-4 weeks after frost
They start off sweet like a Bell Pepper but don't let them fool you; the heat will creep up on you after that!
I found out first-hand just how hot when I took the seeds out of mine and my hands started stinging. After washing my hands I thought I got all the capsaicin off and an hour later my eyelid was itching so I scratched it and my eye started burning!
Just in case you don't have any gloves and this happens to you, take some milk or cream and rub it on your hands and dab it in your eye and that will cut the burning almost immediately.
