Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep the soil warm (75-85°F) and consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before planting in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with 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 full size and are firm, either green or golden yellow for maximum sweetness.
