Growing Information

Planting

  • Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the final frost date for best results.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors after nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F.
  • Space plants approximately 14–18 inches apart to support their compact, upright growth habit.
  • Choose a sunny location with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil to promote vigorous growth.
  • Harden off seedlings for several days before planting to help them adjust to outdoor conditions.
  • Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and reduce weed pressure.

Maintenance

  • Provide consistent moisture, especially during flowering and fruit set, to maintain steady production.
  • Stake plants if needed, as the compact upright habit can still become top-heavy with fruit.
  • Apply a balanced fertilizer throughout the season to support growth and pepper development.
  • Maintain even soil moisture and avoid waterlogging to prevent stress and reduce the risk of blossom-end rot.
  • Remove any damaged or diseased foliage promptly to encourage healthy airflow around the plant.

Harvest & Storage

  • Harvest peppers when they reach about 3 inches long and are firm and glossy.
  • Peppers can be picked green for a milder flavor or left to ripen to bright red for deeper heat and sweetness.
  • Expect maturity between 60–83 days from transplanting.
  • Store freshly harvested peppers in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, slice and freeze the peppers or pickle them to preserve flavor and texture.
