Sweet pepper 'Mandarin'

Mandarin likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Mandarin is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Mandarin needs a potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

Ensure a distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 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 Mandarin about 60 days before your last frost date.

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