Full Sun
Peppers like heat; can be grown in containers
Start seeds indoors in trays 8-10 weeks before anticipated transplant date. Fill a seed tray or some 10cm pots with moist seed compost and flatten down. Sow a few seeds on top and cover with a fine sprinkling of vermiculite or compost. Place in a propagator; if you don't have a propagator, place seed trays in a plastic bag or put plastic wrap over the seed trays to keep moisture and warmth
Germinates (at 18-25C (64-77F)); typically takes 7-10 days, ensure the compost is kept evenly moist without letting it get soaking wet.
When your seedlings start to grow, move them to a warm, sunny windowsill (or heated greenhouse).
When seedlings are strong enough to handle without breaking, gently transplant them from trays into individual pots of compost.
Gradually acclimatize your plants to outdoor conditions over a period of 7 to 10 days before transplanting them into well prepared beds of fertile, moist, well-drained soil after all risk of frost has passed.
OR direct sow: toss 2-3 seeds in moist soil and lightly cover with compost. Soil should be not dry but not damp either - right in between.
Space about 24 apart in the ground.
Harvest: The more you pick, the more that will grow, however, these are generally at full maturity when they are a deep red colour.
All chillies must be harvested before the first frost.
Dry or freeze chillies to get the most from them year round.
Attracts bees and insects that pollinate chilli flowers; attracted by nectar.
Seed Count: 20
