Sweet pepper 'Blackbird'

Plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Blackbird is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors. Blackbird 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.

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 Blackbird about 60 days before your last frost date.

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