Planting & Care

Start Firecracker Pepper seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth (75-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for garden planting after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly at planting and again when flowers appear. Harvest peppers when they reach full color and size; regular picking encourages more fruit production. With proper care, Firecracker Peppers will provide a spicy, abundant harvest all season long.
