How to grow Chili pepper 'Papecchia'
Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Papecchia is thought of as half hardy, so it will need cloching or fleece protection when the temperature dips. Papecchia needs a loamy and sandy soil with a ph of 7.0 to 8.5 (neutral soil to weakly alkaline soil).
Growing Papecchia from seed
Look to ensure a distance 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.2 inches (0.5 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.
Transplanting Papecchia
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Papecchia is a half hardy plant.
