Sweet pepper 'Pepperoncini'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Pepperoncini 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. Pepperoncini needs a potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

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 Pepperoncini about 70 days before your last frost date.

Transplant only when all danger of frost has passed. Pinch off any flowers that may be present.

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

By our calculations, you should look at planting out Pepperoncini about 14 days after your last frost date.

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