Growing Guide

When to Grow

Start indoors 8–10 weeks before your last expected frost. Transplant outdoors after danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. If you’re not sure how to find your first and last frost dates, consult our blog post 'Our Experts Answer Questions, Share Resources.'

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix. Keep the soil evenly moist and warm—ideally 75–85°F. Provide strong light or grow lights. Transplant seedlings outdoors once hardened off and nighttime temps remain above 55°F.

How to Grow

Provide full sun and consistent watering, especially during fruiting. Support plants as fruits grow to prevent branches from breaking. Side-dress with compost or use a balanced fertilizer every 3–4 weeks for optimal yields.

How to Save Seeds

  • Choose fully ripe, slightly soft, deep yellow fruits from healthy, true-to-type plants.
  • Cut open the pepper and remove seeds.
  • Spread seeds on a screen or paper towel in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.
  • Stir daily to ensure even drying.
  • Once completely dry, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
  • Label with variety and year. Seeds remain viable for up to 3-5 years.

  • Monster-sized fruit: Up to 8 inches, thick-walled; the biggest bells many have grown.
