Peppers thrive in fertile, organically rich, well-drained soil with lots of sun and heat. Start 2-3 seeds per hole, indoors 4-6 weeks before the final spring frost or outdoors in warmer climates. After 6-8 weeks, harden outside and transplant the best seedlings to your garden or pots. Water regularly; but do not over-water. Peppers produce abundantly; and will benefit from staking and support as they become top-heavy. Snip ripe peppers off the bush with a bit of stem attached.

Hot, hotter or hottest? These peppers have a Scolville Heated Unit rating of 30-50 thousand so they pack a punch; but if you're looking for more heat, just leave them on the bush to ripen longer. Enjoy!

For best results harvest peppers after they've turned red on the bush.

Wit & Wisdom: Many people swear by placing match heads in the planting hole to add sulfur. Read The Old Farmer's Almanac Pepper Growing Guide!
