Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix, keep consistently moist, and provide warmth (a heat mat helps). Once seedlings have true leaves and danger of frost has passed, harden them off and transplant outdoors in full sun. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly every few weeks. Harvest peppers when fully colored and firm. Handle superhot peppers with care—wear gloves when picking and preparing them.
