How to grow Sweet pepper 'Friggitello'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Friggitello is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in potting mix, loamy and silty soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Friggitello likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Friggitello from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Friggitello about 32 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Friggitello

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Friggitello is a tender plant.
