If you love classic sriracha sauce, this is the pepper to grow! Sriracha peppers produce large, smooth, dark green fruit that ripen to a vibrant red with excellent shelf life and consistent heat. The flavour is bold, bright, and perfect for homemade hot sauce, stir-fries, grilling, and roasting.
Compact plants reach about 19 in., making them ideal for patio containers or small garden spaces. Just be sure to provide a sunny location with 6+ hours of direct sun for best production.
A reliable, flavourful pepper that brings authentic sriracha-style heat straight from your garden.
Planting Instructions
Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before transplanting out to the garden. Cover seeds with 1/4 in. of soil. Firm soil over seed. Keep moist but not waterlogged. To germinate maintain a soil temperature of 22°C. Seed should germinate in 10-14 days. Once seeds have sprouted, 14-16 hours of light per day is essential. Once plants have reached 5 in. transplant to 3 in. peat pots. Plants will develop better with a growing temperature of 17°C until transplanting out.
Pro Tip: Fertilize weekly with Liquid Seaweed Fertilizer for strong root development. Do not transplant out till night temperatures are warm.
