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 at 75-85°F for germination, which typically takes 10-21 days. Provide bright light and keep the medium moist but not waterlogged. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to conserve moisture. Fertilize lightly when plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach the desired color and size; use scissors or pruners to cut the stems, leaving a short stub.
