What You Receive

This listing is for live pepper plants, not seeds or harvested peppers. Choose the available 1-plant, 3-plant, or 10-plant option before adding to your cart.

Acclimating and Planting

Gradually acclimate plants to outdoor conditions over one to two weeks. Begin in a sheltered location with a few hours of sunlight, then slowly increase exposure. Protect plants from cold and bring containers indoors when nighttime temperatures fall below 55°F.

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny, warm location once conditions are suitable. For container growing, use a pot with drainage holes; a 5-gallon container gives roots room to develop. Mulch around the base, keeping mulch away from the stem.

Watering and Feeding

Water thoroughly as needed, especially during hot or dry weather, while allowing excess water to drain. Avoid waterlogged soil. Feed with a fertilizer suitable for vegetable plants, following the product label rather than overfeeding.

Harvesting and Kitchen Use

Harvest when peppers reach their mature pale-yellow color. Snip fruits with clean garden scissors to avoid damaging the stems, and pick regularly as peppers ripen. Add a little at a time to hot sauces, pepper vinegar, and seasonings for a bright burst of heat.

Handling Hot Peppers

Wear gloves when cutting or processing peppers, avoid touching your eyes or face, and wash hands and tools thoroughly afterward. Keep hot peppers out of reach of children and pets.
