Planting & Care

Start Red Cherry Sweet Pepper seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a seed-starting mix and keep them warm and consistently moist; germination can be slow, so patience and steady warmth help. Once seedlings have true leaves and nighttime temperatures stay reliably warm, harden them off gradually before transplanting outdoors into full sun.

Water plants regularly to keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to conserve moisture. Feed lightly during the growing season and support plants if needed as fruits develop. Harvest fruits when they reach full size and turn bright red for the sweetest flavor.
