Chili pepper 'Largo Purple'

Some varieties may need to be supported with a cane as the fruit develops.

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Largo Purple 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. Planting Largo Purple 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.

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 Largo Purple about 38 days before your last frost date.

Transplant out when all danger of frost has passed.

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

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by late summer.
