How to grow
Pepper seed is slow to germinate. It needs moisture and warmth. Start inside in March or April and transplant into rich, well prepared garden soil when all danger of frost is past. 3 to 4 weeks after last frost and when the soil temperature is at least 65 degrees and the outside temperature is at least 70 degrees. Starting indoors is recommended. Space 15-18” apart in rows 2’ apart." Sun is critical to getting plants with an abundance of fruits. Harvest the peppers as soon as they are ripe to keep your plants producing throughout the season. Although the plants grow ideally in full sun, they do not tolerate drought conditions well so regular waterings are important. Avoid using peat pots or peat pellets for germination of peppers.
