Pepper Seeds - Florida Grove

Florida Grove pepper plants are warm-season annuals with an upright, branching growth habit and steady development throughout the frost-free growing period. They are well adapted to warm and humid climates and perform reliably in temperate regions with consistent sunlight. Plants grown from seed establish well in fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering to maintain even moisture. This variety is suitable for home gardens, raised beds, and container planting where adequate spacing supports airflow and healthy seasonal growth.
