Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 6-8 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 for the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants 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 heat or red for full flavor and heat. Regular harvesting encourages more fruit production.
