Sweet pepper 'Keystone Resistant OP'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Keystone Resistant OP is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Keystone Resistant OP 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 about 7-8 weeks before planting outside. Place seeds 1/4" deep in cells filled with good potting mix. Keep warm! Peppers germinate best at 80 degrees so provide bottom heat if possible. Plants should receive as much sunlight as possible to prevent legginess. Transplant outdoors 12-18" apart. Keep soil evenly moist. Peppers do not tolerate drought well. Pick peppers promptly when they reach desired size and color.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) and sow at a depth of around 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 Keystone Resistant OP about 60 days before your last frost date.

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