Sweet pepper 'Sheepnose pimento'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Sheepnose pimento is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Ideally plant in potting mix, loamy and silty soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Sheepnose pimento likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

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

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ripe when the peppers turn from green to red (about 70 days).
