Planting & Care

Start pepperoncini seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the 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 the 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 the desired size and color—green for a tangy flavor or red for a sweeter taste. Pick regularly to encourage continued production.
