Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently warm and moist. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant into larger pots or harden off and plant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize lightly every few weeks during the growing season. Handle mature peppers with care—wear gloves when harvesting to avoid skin irritation from the oils.
