I've found it to be more aromatic than other fennels I've grown so if you love that licorice flavor you might like the red fennel. I wonder if the Red fennel would do better for you, it's a Danish variety that is supposed to be very cold hardy. I got my seeds from Adaptive Seeds.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-61951572285710558032010-02-24T08:08:35.613-08:002010-02-24T08:08:35.613-08:00Mac, Hmm, actually, Rocotos are one of the few chi...Mac, Hmm, actually, Rocotos are one of the few chiles that I haven't grown from seed, I've always been able to find live plants, so I don't know if they are any fussier than other chiles. All chiles like heat to help them germinate, about 80F to 85F. I found a great website that has lots of great tips for starting chile plants - http://www.ecoseeds.com/Pepper.growing.tips.html.

I'll have to try it one of these days.<br /><br />BTW have you try to grow Rocoto hot peppers before? I've gone through half a pack of seeds already and nothing germinates, I got the seeds fro SSE and it says 65% germination rate as of 2009. I'm about to give up, few more seeds left to go and I'm done.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05406627092112574516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-52886599232215141922010-02-23T18:36:21.863-08:002010-02-23T18:36:21.863-08:00Dan was nice enough to send me some red fennel to ...Dan was nice enough to send me some red fennel to grow this year.
