Pepper-Bird’s Eye
Capsicum annuum 'Bird's Eye' Chiltepin
They've named Bird's Eye Chili because of their short, circular shape and the fact that they're spread by birds who aren't bothered by the peppers' fire. When mixing in water they may repel insects. They are incredibly potent and have fantastic taste. These plants are fruitful and peppers are good for making hot sauces, chili pastes, by grinding into chili. They're also excellent in stir-fries. This is a shorter plant that the Bird Pepper, making them great for containers.

“All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

“My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

“I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
