PLEASE READ! THIS IS A MIX!!! Seeds are not individually packaged according to variety but are packaged in one envelope for this listing, please see other listings for individual varieties!!! A fiery mix of red, yellow, purple, green and orange Cayenne peppers! Use fresh in sauces or salsa or dry the thin walled fruit for pepper flakes or to flavor oil and vinegar. HOT! Peppers can be grown all year long in containers. It is suitable for apartment dwellers and gardeners who live in cool regions where the number of growing days are limited. All peppers are perennials, and make nice house-plants if grown in potting soil in 2-3 gallon pots, and taken indoors when the nights drop into the 40s. HOW TO GROW: Start seeds in small containers from 8-10 weeks prior to the last frost date. Plant seeds 1/4" deep in moist, well drained potting soil. Soil temperature MUST be kept at 75-90F for proper germination! Cool soil, particularly at night can inhibit or significantly delay germination. Overly warm soils, well above 90F, can inhibit germination and provide ideal conditions for seed rot. To keep soil temperature warm, start seeds indoors. Keep the container covered with a plastic bag on the top of the fridge where the room temperature is higher, therefore the soil temperature is good for germination. Keep soil moderately moist, though not overly, dripping wet. Water soil when the soil surface just begins to dry. Allow proper air circulation for containers. Once seedlings have sprouted, keep in small containers until a few sets of leaves have developed. Transplant to larger containers or outdoors. If transplanting outdoors, make sure to harden off seedlings by exposing them to only filtered sunlight for up to 1-2 weeks. *** **SOIL Temperature for Germination: 70-85F Plant Spacing: 12-24". **Row Spacing: 24-30". **Hardiness: Zones 4-10 **Sun Requirement: Full sun/ Partial Shade **Days to Germination: 14-21 days. **Germination Rate: 92%.
