Sweet pepper 'Sweet Orange'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Sweet Orange is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Sweet Orange needs a potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of 5.5 to 7.5 (weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil).

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). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Sweet Orange about 32 days before your last frost date.

Sweet Orange is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
