Sow seeds in sterile potting mix, eight weeks prior to your last expected frost date. Plant seeds at a depth equal to two times their thickness. The optimum soil temperature is 80°F. Germination can be erratic. The most common cause of poor germination is the result of uneven planting depths.
Transplant only after night temperatures average above 55°F. Plants are tender and thrive in warm weather. Blossoms drop if temperatures fall below 60°F or if they get too much nitrogen.

★★★★★ Very Mild
By rosemary kelley on January 3, 2014

I grew these indoors 2013. They had a good germination rate. I put out 4 of these plants and they grew about 3 ft. tall. They produced a good amount of peppers per plant but not as prolific as some of my other peppers. I picked them when they turned reddish. All my peppers were about 7 inches long and they have a good taste and texture. They are mildly hot. Too mild to use for what I grew them for but I used them in some salsas for added flavor. If your looking for very mild hot pepper this is the one.
