| Sweet Pepper Seed Planting
Information:
Sweet peppers can be grown anywhere as long as you have 4 months without
frost. You can also grow sweet peppers in containers. Sweet Pepper seeds are
sensitive to temperature and moisture. Do not soak the seeds in any type of
solution or water before planting, as this may damage the seeds and they may
rot and may not germinate. Plant your seeds indoors between January and March,
or 5 to 7 weeks before setting outside in garden. Use Miracle Gro Seed
Starting Material for best germination results. When plant is 12" or taller,
transplant them outdoors. Only plant peppers outdoors on a cloudy day, just
prior to getting rain. Plant when soil is warm, at least 2 weeks after last
frost, and when temperatures remain above 70 F. Please read the Tips on
Growing Hot Peppers as Sweet peppers and hot peppers are grown in relatively
the same manner. Plants can grow 3 to 4 ft tall. | |
