What you need to know to Plant & Grow
Sweet peppers require an early start indoors to achieve full maturity during the Canadian summer.
-
Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors from mid-February to late March. Use a soilless growing mix.
-
Germination: Seed typically germinates in 10 to 20 days. Maintaining the growing medium at a temperature of 21 degrees C will enhance germination.
-
Transplanting: Transplant seedlings after hardening off, in late May to early June, when all danger of frost is past.
-
Planting Depth: 5 mm
- Seed Spacing: 6 cm
-
Thin to: 35 cm
-
Row Width: 60 cm
Provide a site with Full Sun and a well-drained soil. Grow the seedlings under bright light and temperatures of 16 to 21 °C to produce strong, stocky plants. Control weeds and avoid high nitrogen fertilizers, which encourage leafy growth over fruit production. Staking is recommended with most varieties. Days to maturity range from 65 to 75 days after transplanting.
