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 soil warm (75-85°F) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off and plant outdoors 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 avoid waterlogging. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color—green for a milder flavor or red for maximum sweetness.
