Sweet pepper 'Gourmet'

Position in a full sun location and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Gourmet 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. Planting Gourmet in potting mix, loamy and silty soil with a ph of between 5.5 and 7.5 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Gourmet is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
