Exposing the plants to the weather for several hours a day before transplanting may help prevent shock. Peppers also grow well in containers or raised beds.
Organic Seed Product Features:
Produces high yields, even in high heat, but shade needed and must keep the soil evenly moist and weeds under control; mulching the plants may help with this. If excess heat and sun cause the plants to wilt, provide shade.
Seeds are great for Planting in Garden or for storing in a seed safe for emergency. Harvesting hot peppers is basically a matter of personal preference. Generally, the longer the peppers mature on the vine, the hotter they will taste. Mature peppers, however, signal the plant to stop producing; if the peppers are picked when still at the green stage, the plant will go on producing. Always use a knife or scissors to remove peppers to prevent damage to the fragile stems.
Latin Name: Capsicum annuum; Santa Fe Grande peppers work equally well for salsas, pickling, and preserving.
