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 temperature at 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination, which typically takes 10-21 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off for the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Provide consistent moisture and mulch to retain soil moisture. 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 sweetness and maximum heat.
