HOW TO GROW

Sow seeds 8 weeks prior to transplanting. Pepper seeds should be planted 1/4″ deep in a fine-textured seed-starting mix or vermiculite to provide good drainage.

Bottom heat of 80–90°F/27–32°C is essential for pepper germination. Seeds will germinate in 7–8 days at that temperature; at lower temps, germination is slower, erratic, and percentage germination is reduced.

Growing Tips for Successful Pepper Transplants

Reviews

  1. M.L. – 08/29/2021

    Five Stars! One of my favorite plants this year (others include Fairy Tale eggplant and Gretel eggplant). I started these from seed, and grew this plant in a self-watering earth box style container with a few other kinds of peppers. It has been very productive and we can’t believe how sweet the peppers are. My family eats them fresh off the plant. Even when just showing a small hint of yellow/orange, they taste like candy. I didn’t stake it, and even though it isn’t very tall, next year I will. (Zone 6b, Boston, MA)
