Planting & Care

Start Tabasco 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 75-85°F (24-29°C) for best germination. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots or harden them off and move them to the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Space plants 18-24 inches apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer. Harvest peppers when they reach full color (red) for maximum flavor and heat. Tabasco peppers can be used fresh, dried, or processed into sauce.
