Sweet pepper 'Ozark Giant'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Ozark Giant is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ozark Giant requires a potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 - 7.5 - it grows best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

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

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

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

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