Costeno Rojo Chilli Seeds

Costeno Rojo chilli seeds. The Costeno Rojo is a classic Mexican heirloom chilli. This chilli comes from the coastal region in the state of Oaxaca. “Costeno” meaning coastal. Small to medium sized compact plants with furry foliage and branches. Pods ripen from green to Red and are a long pendant shape. If you love your Mexican cuisine, this is an essential chilli to have. Crisp and fruity with minerally undertones, this chilli is great when used fresh. It is also used dried, as are many Mexican chillies. Good medium heat with a decent lengthy burn.

* The container sizes above are sugested sizes that are reasonable and accessible for most growers (taking price, space, ecological/environmental impact into consideration). Not everyone can look at growing in huge containers. If you can justify growing in larger containers  - there are no limitations on container sizes. You may however, rather look at growing in soil as an option in these instances. Using large amounts of potting medium will come with ecological/environmental impact, which you may wish to take into consideration.
