Sweet pepper 'Golden Marconi'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Golden Marconi is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Ensure your soil is potting mix, loamy and silty and has a ph of between 5.5 and 7.5 as Sweet pepper is a weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil loving plant.

Start seeds indoors six to eight weeks before last frost date.

Ensure a distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.25 inches (0.64 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Golden Marconi about 60 days before your last frost date.

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

Named after Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi (1874 – 1937).
