Tender Annual, F1 Hybrid Renee's Garden EXCLUSIVE – These fragrant, fiery, flavorful 4 inch chiles are the most widely grown variety in Tibet, where they are made into a spicy sauce or a tongue-tingling paste used in many dishes or served as a condiment that adds heat and savor to everyday meals. Plants bear heavy sets of multiple straight pods that quickly mature from green to rich deep red early in the season, and keep producing for long extended harvesting. We are pleased to introduce this unique variety to U.S. gardeners.

Sowing & Growing
- Light: Full Sun
- Planting season: Summer
- Starting location: Start Indoors & Transplant
Start ‘Tibetan Lhasa’ Traditional Chile Pepper with enough lead time for seedlings to develop before warm outdoor conditions arrive. Use a well-drained seed-starting medium, provide strong light after emergence, and transplant only after frost risk has passed. Check soil moisture at root depth and water according to conditions rather than a fixed calendar. Preserve the recorded spacing so foliage can develop and air can move through the planting. Harvest stage can influence color, texture, and heat.
Before sowing ‘Tibetan Lhasa’ Traditional Chile Pepper, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Planting & Growing: In early spring, start indoors about 2 months before night temperatures stay reliably above 50-55°F. Sow seeds 1/4" deep and 1" apart in a container of seed starting mix. Keep moist but not soggy, and very warm 80-85°F. Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside. When seedlings are 2" tall, transplant into deeper individual containers. Maintain at 70-75°F. Feed with half strength fertilizer every week until weather is warm enough to gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Transplant 2' apart into rich soil in full sun.
Harvesting & Storage: Harvest when chiles have a high gloss and are ripened to rich deep red. Very spicy, good for chile sauce, salsa, or drying and making chile flakes.
