How to grow Sweet pepper 'Ukrainian orange'

  • Full Sun

  • Medium

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Ukrainian orange is thought of as tender, so it is really important to plant out well after your last frost date. 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 Ukrainian orange likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Growing Ukrainian orange from seed

Sow at a depth of approx. 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) and aim for a distance of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between Sweet pepper plants. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

Transplanting Ukrainian orange

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