Chili pepper 'Alpha'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Alpha is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Planting Alpha in loamy and sandy soil with a ph of between 7.0 and 8.5 is ideal for as it does best in neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Alpha about 38 days before your last frost date.

As Alpha is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
