Here is the Little Nubian Pepper, Capsicum annuum, Scoville Units: 2,000 to 8,000 SHU. This pepper originates from Jamaica and is also know as Jamaican Sore Throat pepper and Black Scorpion Pepper. We received the seeds as "Black Scorpion Pepper" but we're changing the name of the listing to the better known name Little Nubian Pepper. These peppers are mild in heat but can be quite hot and varies from pepper to pepper and have a wonderful smooth flavor. They produce peppers about 1 1/2 to 2 inches round with 3 to 5 lobes and and looks a bit like a tiny bell pepper! Fruits turn pitch black in full sun then ripen to an orange red color. These plants can be very productive and love warm temperatures only getting to 30 inches tall and compact bushy type. One plant can produce dozens or more peppers. Fruits take a long time to ripen and great for pickling! It's a mid to late season variety so make sure to get started early! Open pollinated 80 to 90+ days from transplanting.

  • GERMINATION INFO

    Peppers require a long warm season to produce fruits, taking from 58 to 100 days to mature. Although grown as an annual throughout most of the country, peppers survive as perennials in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9b, 10 and 11. Ornamental, sweet and hot peppers all require the same conditions for germination and fruit production.

    1. Start pepper seeds six to eight weeks before you plan to plant them outside. Use planting trays or pots with drainage holes and a separate water tray to allow excess moisture to drain.

    2. Wash planting trays or pots with hot water and soap. Mix nine parts water with one part bleach and rinse the containers with the mixture to remove any bacteria and fungus.

    3. Fill the planting container with seed starting mix. Use a packaged soilless blend or make your own using one-third peat, one-third sand and one-third vermiculite.

    4. Broadcast the pepper seeds across the seed starting medium. Cover them with a light layer of the medium about twice as thick as the seed width.

    5. Mist the planted container with room temperature water until the starting mix feels damp all the way through. Cover the tray or pots with a humidity dome or plastic film.

    6. Place the planters in a warm location. Pepper seeds need temperatures around 70 to 80 degrees F to germinate. Use a seed starting heat mat with thermostat to ensure consistent and accurate temperatures.

    7. Check the peppers daily for moisture levels and seedlings. Mist as needed to keep the soilless mix moist. Germination takes seven to 14 days for most varieties of peppers. Remove the plastic cover when seedlings appear.
