This Sunday's 2 p.m. free lecture: Eclectic Water Features, by 'pond
guy' Kurt Hudgeons. Learn all about creative, affordable water features
that look and sound beautiful. (Bring water and a chair.)
Pequins also are a perennial, returning after the winter. Seed germinates
readily and your pequin crop will scatter literally everywhere. This might
be good… as you can sell them for up to $50 a pound.
On the culinary side, they are considered a spicy pepper with intense
but transitory heat. To give you some idea of the degree of intensity, in
Mexico it is
great but fortunately it diminishes quickly.

The Mighty Pequin: Hot and Beautiful
by Chris Winslow
One of my favorite nativeTexas
native pepper makes a great addition to any landscape. The fruit
starts out a lovely green color, and ripens to a brilliant orange-red
or scarlet.
As an ornamental, chili pequins can be grown in sun or shade. The more
sun they get, the more water they'll need. These chili plants will provide
flower and fruit color throughout spring, summer and fall.
I once found a cluster of them once in the Flatonia area that were about
six feet tall. The seeds from this plant are populating the flower beds all
over the nursery right now!
