Chili pepper 'Siam'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Siam is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips. Siam requires a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 7.0 - 8.5 - it grows best in neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Ensure a distance of 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Siam about 38 days before your last frost date.

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