description

Organic Aji Sivri Hot Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an elegant and productive organic variety known for its long, slender, slightly curved fruits that ripen from green to bright red. Its moderate to strong heat and aromatic flavor make it a versatile pepper, enjoyable fresh or processed. In the vegetable garden, its vigorous habit reaches 60 to 90 cm tall with a spread of about 40 cm, giving it strong presence without taking up too much space. Its decorative fruits add color, movement, and ornamental appeal to edible gardens while promising generous harvests.

This pepper grows best in full sun, in a warm, protected location with rich, fertile, slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil. Start seeds indoors from February to April, about eight to ten weeks before the last frost, at 24 to 30°C to encourage quick germination. After frost danger has passed, transplant hardened-off plants into the garden or into 15 to 20 L containers. Regular watering, balanced fertilization, and good drainage support growth, flowering, and continuous production under Quebec summer conditions.

In the garden, Aji Sivri Hot Pepper is perfect for family vegetable gardens, culinary gardens, and sunny patios where it combines culinary value with decorative appeal. Its long fruits can be enjoyed fresh in salads and sandwiches, grilled, sautéed, pickled, dried, or made into homemade sauces. It pairs well with tomato, eggplant, carrot, onion, and peas, creating a diverse and productive planting. Its small greenish-white flowers attract bees and other pollinating insects, supporting good fruit set and contributing to the ecological vitality of the vegetable garden.

Growing
method

Peppers require a long growing season and benefit from an early indoor start. Sow seeds eight to ten weeks before the last expected frost in a light, well-drained seed-starting mix. Maintain temperatures between 24 and 30°C for rapid, uniform germination and vigorous seedlings. Once seedlings emerge, provide strong light to produce sturdy, compact plants. Transplant into individual containers after several true leaves develop, then harden off gradually before planting outdoors. Grow plants in a warm location with at least six to eight hours of direct sun each day in rich, fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly while keeping the soil evenly moist, apply mulch to conserve moisture, and fertilize moderately to encourage continuous flowering and fruit production. Peppers may be harvested green or left to fully ripen for maximum color, flavor, and heat.
