Aji amarillo or Peruvian Yellow Hot Pepper

I am just wondering if anyone has experience growing this. My husband is Peruvian and we have eaten many dishes with this pepper, usually made into a sauce. I love it. We recently found jars of it in a small grocery store but now I have decided to grow it.

I have seeds and have started them indoors under lights, although none have sprouted yet. I'm not really sure of growing requirements so this year will be a trial and error year. I'm very excited though, these peppers are delicious!

I have not yet decided where to plant them outside. I have a western raised bed on the patio, or annual vegetable garden boxes. Or I wonder if they would do best in the strawberry patch which is on the south side and full sun. We shall see. Can peppers be interplanted with strawberries?
