Planting season: Spring to early summer
Germination time: 10–14 days

Growing instructions:
Sow seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, keeping the soil warm (around 25–30°C) and moist for the best germination. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves, transplant them outdoors after the last frost. Space plants 30–40 cm apart. Regular watering and feeding with a balanced fertilizer will promote strong growth. Harvest the peppers when they are firm and green or allow them to ripen to red for a slightly hotter flavor.
