Chili pepper 'Busillis'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Busillis is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Busillis requires a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 7.0 - 8.5 - it grows best in neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Busillis about 38 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Busillis is a tender plant.
