| Start Indoors | RECOMMENDED. 8 to 10 weeks before transplanting. Ideal soil temperature for germination is 70°‒90°F. Transplant seedlings outside 2 to 4 weeks after your average last frost date, and when daytime temperatures are at least 70°F, and nighttime temperatures are at least 55°F. Mild Climates: May be sown in late summer for fall/winter crop. |
| Direct Sow | For mild climates only: 2 to 4 weeks after your average last frost date, when soil temperature is at least 70°F. |
| Special Sowing | Pepper seed germinates best in very warm soil. Either use a heat mat under your seed starting tray or place tray in a warm room. Do not overwater, but keep soil just slightly moist. Make sure the potting containers are big enough that the plants’ roots will not be constricted; if seedlings become rootbound, the plants’ growth may be stunted. |
| Growing & Harvesting | Each 'Delite' plant's fruit will start off green and mature to produce only one color (red, yellow, or orange).This packet is a mixture of all colors. Enjoy discovering which one(s) you've planted. |
