Matures in: 75 days from setting out transplants

Description:
These peppers are a fiesta-inspired collection of green, purple, orange, yellow, and red. Hot and tasty, they are popular fresh, cooked, or used as seasoning. Peppers range from 4 to 7 inches long.
SOWING:
Start seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before danger of frost is past. Plant seed 1 inch apart and cover with 1/4 inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Place seed starting tray in a very warm spot (both night and day) and cover with a frame of glass or polyethylene to preserve moisture until germination is complete. Then place tray in a warm sunny window.
THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, transplant 2 inches apart into another tray. After danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors into a sunny location in rows 2 to 3 feet apart, spacing plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row.
GERMINATION:
Germination in 12 to 21 days, depending on soil and temperature conditions. Cool temperatures delay germination.
REMARKS:
Many gardeners hold off heavy fertilization until the first blossom produces a small fruit which is picked off. Pepper plants produce more fruit if kept picked and not allowed to ripen. Cut instead of pulling from plant to avoid injury.
