Growing Information

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date to ensure strong transplants.
  • Maintain warm soil temperatures during germination, ideally between 70–90°F.
  • Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed, spacing plants 18–24 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread.
  • Choose a site with full sun and well-drained, fertile soil for best growth.
  • Plants typically mature in 75–90 days from transplanting, producing sweet peppers throughout the season.

Maintenance

  • Plants reach a mature height of about 24–30 inches with a similar spread, so provide adequate spacing for airflow.
  • Support may be helpful as fruits develop, especially in high-yielding conditions.
  • Water consistently but avoid waterlogging; the variety’s natural drought tolerance helps it rebound between waterings.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer as plants begin setting fruit to maintain productivity.
  • Monitor for pests, though TMV resistance makes this variety dependable against common viral issues.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest peppers when they reach full size—typically 3 to 4 inches—and develop firm, glossy skin.
  • Pick regularly to encourage additional fruiting throughout the season.
  • Fruits can be eaten green or allowed to ripen to full sweetness and color on the plant.
  • Store harvested peppers in a cool, humid environment for up to one week, or chop and freeze for longer storage.
  • Handle peppers carefully to avoid bruising their thick, crisp walls.
