Planting & Care

Start Sonora Mild Hot Pepper seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and keep consistently moist at around 75°F (24°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and continue growing in a sunny window or under grow lights. Harden off plants gradually before transplanting outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep 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 desired color; mild heat develops as they mature. With proper care, these plants will provide a bountiful harvest for fresh use or preservation.
