Chili pepper 'Black Magic'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Black Magic 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. Black Magic needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 7.0 to 8.5 (neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.2 inches (0.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

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

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