Labuyo/Filipino bird's eye Chili,The world's Hottest & Smallest

Siling Labuyo, or Filipino bird's eye pepper, one of the world's hotter peppers ~ 10 Heirloom seeds !
This is Siling Labuyo, or Filipino bird's eye pepper. It is one of the world's hotter peppers, slightly milder than a habañero. Apparently it is becoming less common even in its native land, giving way to the larger and milder Thai peppers at markets across the Philippines, siling labuyo (bird's eye chili) that grows in the forested area of northern Luzon. This tiny chili is known for its intense piquancy - so small, yet so hot in taste.
Siling Labuyo or Chili Pepper (Scientific Name: Capsicum frutescens) is a common backyard plant in the Philippines especially in the province. Its plant growing to a height of 0.8 to 1.5 meters only, thus the city people or those who doesn't have a garden or extra lot can cultivate them in a flower pot. The leaves (dahon ng sili) are known source of iron and calcium and Filipinos use them as vegetable and a popular ingredient to Filipino dishes such as "tinola" and "monggo".
The pepper fruit (sili) grows numerously per one stem and are in bright red when ripe. It grows to 1.5 to 2.5 cm long. Filipinos believe that the smaller and the brighter the red color of the pepper fruit is, the stronger the chili taste is. Filipinos love to eat them raw like crushing them in vinegar sauce or mix them with other condiments or make them into chili sauce. They also mix them in dishes especially with "ginataan" and to almost all kinds of appetizers. They are most popular in the Bicol Region.

All pepper varieties are Heirloom and/or OP(Open Pollinated.) and Organically Grown
Peppers often like to take their sweet time germinating. They can be up in a week, and some will take almost a month. Even with paper towel germination testing, they can take long. I'm not sure why, but it is a normal occurrence. So plan ahead and make sure you start them early enough! Also remember they like heat to germinate so make sure you have a heating mat or something to keep the soil warm. Placing them up on top of the fridge often works too since it is normally warmer up there.

Peppers do very well grown in pots.
