Wear gloves when handling.

Sow indoors

Level fill a module seed tray firming with the base of another tray. Water well with a fine rose. Sow seeds individually and cover with 1cm (½ in) layer of fine compost. Place in a propagator at 18-25°C (65-75°F) or cover tray with cling film and leave in a warm room. Keep moist.

Grow on

When shoots appear, remove cling film. Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from direct sunlight. When plants have 4-6 leaves transplant to 9cm (3½ in) pots of potting compost. Grow on in a minimum temperature of 15?C (60°F). Pinch the growing tip to encourage bushy growth.

Plant out

Plant out into 25cm (10in) containers once roots are beginning to come through the bottom of the 9cm pot. Keep indoors in a greenhouse, on a light windowsill or sunny sheltered patio spot. Stems may require some support.

Tips

Water regularly and feed weekly with a liquid fertiliser as fruit start to swell. Take care to wash hands after handling or preparing fruits and avoid touching your eyes.

How To Grow

Add some heat to your garden with chilli and sweet pepper seeds, perfect for greenhouses, pots, or sunny borders. From fiery hot chillies to crisp, sweet peppers, there’s a variety for every taste. Start seeds early in warm conditions for the best results. As fruits develop, feed regularly with a high-potash fertiliser to boost flavour and yields. Homegrown peppers are a delicious addition to any dish!


Indoor Sowing
Sow seeds early in a warm, bright spot. Coco Dots are ideal for strong root growth with the right balance of moisture and aeration. A heated propagator can help maintain warmth. Once seedlings develop two true leaves, pot on into 9cm pots of compost and grow in a bright, sheltered place. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.


Planting Out
Harden plants off over 7–14 days before transplanting outdoors. Plant 1cm deep, spacing 30cm between plants and 30cm between rows. Mulch to retain heat and moisture.


Harvesting
Harvest peppers green for a crisp flavour or leave to ripen to red, yellow, or orange for a sweeter taste. Chillies can be picked at any stage, depending on the heat level you prefer.
