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 garden planting after the danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly once plants begin to flower. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and desired color; hot cherry peppers can be picked green or allowed to ripen to red for a sweeter, hotter flavor.
