Planting & Care

Start Chocolate Beauty Pepper seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a sterile seed-starting mix and keep the soil consistently moist at 75–85°F (24–29°C) for reliable germination. Provide bright light and good air circulation once seedlings emerge. Harden off seedlings gradually before transplanting outdoors after all danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed.

Set plants in full sun with well-drained soil enriched with compost. Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during flowering and fruit development. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to set fruit. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color, typically when they turn chocolate brown for the richest flavor.
