How to Grow

1. Sow seeds approximately 0.5 cm deep in moist, well-drained seed-starting mix in warm conditions.
2. Keep evenly moist, never waterlogged. Germination typically takes around 2–3 weeks under suitable conditions.
3. Transplant robust seedlings after the risk of frost, spacing plants approximately 40 cm apart, or grow individually in a suitably sized pot or grow bag.
4. Choose a sunny position with good airflow; water as the upper layer of soil begins to dry.
5. Harvest when peppers turn bright red for mature colour and flavour.

Best Sowing Season: Warm-season sowing, generally spring in the plains of Pakistan. Protect seedlings from frost and extreme heat.

Growing Tip: A well-drained GREEN GARDENS grow bag makes container growing convenient.
