Pepper Seeds - Red

Red pepper seeds produce a warm-season annual plant with an upright to bushy growth habit. Plants are adapted to warm and temperate climates and require a full growing season with consistent warmth and sunlight. They are commonly grown in garden beds, raised beds, and containers and develop sturdy stems with moderate foliage. Red pepper plants perform best in well-drained soil and steady moisture conditions and are suitable for home gardens and small-scale seasonal cultivation.
