Sow at a depth of approx.
0.2 inches (0.5 cm) and aim for a distance of at least
1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between Chili pepper plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than
18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.
By our calculations, you should look at sowing Barker's Hot about 38 days before your last frost date.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Barker's Hot is a tender plant.
