Red Bell Pepper (King of the North)

Capsicum annuum 

Growing Instructions 

• Peppers germinate best in warm soil 

• Start indoors 8 weeks before last frost  

• Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm  

• Plant 12-24" apart, at a depth of ¼"  

• Ready to harvest approximately 70 days from transplant  

Seed Saving 

• Select a full ripe pepper, it should be easy to pick and have softer skin  

• First slice off the bottom of the pepper and squeeze/roll out as many seeds as possible  

• Slice pepper in half and remove the placenta (center) of the pepper  

• Remove seeds from the placenta either manually, or allow to dry out for easier removal 

• Allow seeds to fully dry for at least a week  

• Seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place and are viable for several years, storing in a sealed container in the refrigerator works well
