GIANT DEEP RED SWEET BELL PEPPER SEEDS 50+

When you grow RED BELL PEPPERS, the pepper plants start with little flowers that will later have green immature fruit. They mature into beautiful RED fruit. A red pepper just needs extra time and lots of sun. They need 100+ days to reach full maturity.

To give your pepper plants a great head start, plant red pepper seeds indoors about 8-12 weeks before you set them outside when there is no chance of frost & it is warm in your planting zone.

Cover the seed with about 1/4" of moistened planting mix in flats or peat pots (preferably enclose the flat in a plastic bag or cover) and put it in a very sunny spot or provide artificial light for 24 hours a day until they start sprouting, which can take from 10 days to more than 2 weeks.

When you see most of the seeds sprouting, uncover the plants. They then need either a sunny window or artificial light for 16 hours a day to simulate daylight.

When there is no chance of FROST, you start by hardening the plant, which means that put them outside for a few hours a day when the sun is not too strong. Gradually you lengthen the time they are outside until you can plant your plants in the ground that has already warmed.
