Choose Your Plant Quantity

Available in quantities of 1, 3, or 10 live plants. Select your preferred quantity before adding to cart. This listing is for live pepper plants, not seeds or harvested peppers.

Settling In Your Plants

• Unpack promptly and check soil moisture on arrival. Water as needed without leaving roots saturated.
• Allow plants to adjust gradually to outdoor sunlight and wind before placing them in their permanent growing position.
• Plant outdoors after frost danger has passed and soil and nighttime temperatures are consistently warm.
• Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost.

Garden and Container Care

• For container growing, use a pot of approximately 5 gallons or larger with drainage holes.
• Water consistently, adjusting to rainfall, temperature, and soil moisture. Avoid persistently soggy roots.
• Mulch around plants to help conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from stems.
• Feed with a vegetable fertilizer according to its label directions.
• Protect plants from cold weather. Indoor growing requires adequate light and warmth; year-round harvests are not guaranteed.

Harvest and Enjoy

Pick peppers green or allow them to ripen red for a sweeter, more developed flavor. Snip stems with garden scissors rather than pulling on the plant. Blend into sofrito, add to sauces and stews, or use as an aromatic base for your favorite dishes.

Flavor, heat, and harvest timing can vary with individual plants and growing conditions.
