Planting & Care

Start Lumbre pepper seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep them warm (75–85°F) and consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings have true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay above 50°F, harden them off and transplant outdoors in full sun. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly; too much nitrogen can reduce fruiting. Harvest peppers when they reach full size and color for the best flavor.
