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. AAS Display Garden- River Valley Master Gardeners – 08/16/2018

    Escamillo is a vigorous grower and produces delightfully sweet and crispy yellow peppers in abundance. Zone 6a

  2. Tim Huffman – 02/25/2017

    Very healthy root system

  3. Tim Huffman – 02/25/2017

    Here in SW Florida (usda growing zone 10a), I grow peppers all-year round. These seeds came up fast and resulted in 100% germination.
