Sow seeds 1\/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off and set them in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and color, typically 70-90 days after transplanting. Pimento peppers can be used fresh, roasted, or preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Pimento Pepper Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835978514742,"sku":"FOLIA2-1476","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6525195696_d69x.jpg?v=1793096792","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-pimento-pepper-seeds-sweet-heirloom-capsicum-annuum","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
