Growing Instructions for King of the North Pepper:

Start indoors 6-10 weeks before last frost in very warm spot (80 degrees is ideal). Keep seedlings in a well-ventilated area at 70+ degrees and do not over water. Transplant outdoors after threat of frost has passed. Plants grow to 24" high; stake plants to keep fruit off the ground. Harvest young for green bells or allow the fruits to fully ripen to their large, sweet, and juicy red form.
