Growing Notes

Start seeds indoors about 8 weeks before transplanting. Sow ¼" deep in shallow flats. Pepper seeds germinate slowly in cool soil; maintain soil temperatures of 80–90°F for best results.

When first true leaves appear, transplant seedlings into 2" cells or 4" pots. Grow on at about 70°F during the day and 60°F at night. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost, once soil is warm and weather is settled.

Space plants 12–18" apart in rows 24–36" apart.
