Customer Reviews
These peppers plants have grown at a glacial pace, while other peppers and tomatoes in the same raised beds with the same growing conditions, same watering, same mulch have soared.
They're still very stunted in growth, and barely producing.
Very, very disappointed.
So sorry to hear that! We are here to help troubleshoot if you'd like! Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com, if you reach out via email including photos would be great!
I’ve never grown a pepper plant with so many fruit. The peppers are perfectly sized. Eat some green and by the time you are done with those the rest will be red.

Capsicum annuum Our wide array of fabulous peppers, both sweet and hot, offers one of the richest sources of nutrients in the plant kingdom. Hot peppers contain capsaicin, which revs up your metabolism and reduces general inflammation in the body.

Culture
• Peppers are warm-season annuals that grow best in composted, well-drained soils with a pH of 5.5-6.8
• Extra calcium and phosphorus are needed for highest yields
• Plants perform best when grown in raised beds and covered with plastic mulch
• Row cover young plants, remove after blossoms form
• Peppers grow slowly in cool soils; do not transplant before weather has stabilized
• Peppers set fruit best between 65-85°F
Direct Sowing
• Not recommended
Transplanting
• Start seeds in trays 8-12 weeks before anticipated transplant date
• Once seedlings have 2 sets of true leaves, up-pot to a 4 inch pot
• Use 1/2 cup TSC's Complete fertilizer and a shovelful of compost around each plant
• Fertilize with Age Old Bloom when plants begin to flower
Insects & Diseases
• Common insects: Flea beetles, aphids
• Insect control: Pyrethrin or row covers
