Quick Reference

Zones

Plant Hardiness Zones describe the average minimum winter temperature for a region. They tell you where a plant can reliably survive outdoors. For example, Zone 5 can handle colder winters than Zone 9. Matching a plant to your zone increases the chance of long-term success.

Days

  • For food crops: Days to maturity is the expected number of days from planting to first harvest. This helps gardeners plan their growing season and time their harvests.
  • For non-food plants: Days to germination indicates how long it usually takes seeds to sprout under normal conditions. This is key for starting seeds successfully.

Types

  • F1 (Hybrid): A cross between two parent varieties. Hybrids are bred for vigor, uniformity, and specific traits such as disease resistance. Seeds saved from F1 plants don’t grow true to type. That means if you try to regrow them from seed, the plant won't necessarily be the same as last year's
  • OP (Open-Pollinated): Varieties that naturally pollinate and remain stable across generations. Seeds can be saved and replanted with consistent results.
  • HM (Heirloom): An open-pollinated variety that has been handed down for many generations. Heirlooms are valued for flavor, tradition, and genetic diversity.

Grows

  • Outdoors: Well-suited for garden beds, raised beds, or open soil, where natural conditions are stable.
  • Windowsill: Compact plants that thrive in containers indoors, often needing only modest light.
  • Anywhere: Highly adaptable plants that perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Lifecycle

  • Annual: Grows, flowers, sets seed, and dies in one growing season. Many vegetables and flowers are annuals.
  • Perennial: Lives for multiple years, regrowing each season after going dormant. Often used in landscaping or long-term food crops.
  • Sp. Perennial (Self-Perennializing): A plant that reseeds itself or self-pollinates, giving the effect of perennial growth even if individual plants live shorter lives.

Size

Indicates the recommended container size or soil depth for best growth.

  • “X″ Pot”: The ideal pot diameter (e.g., 5″ Pot), ensuring enough root space.
  • DS (Deep Soil): Requires planting directly in the ground or in a deep raised bed, as shallow pots restrict growth.

  • Colorful Transformation: Begin bright yellow, mature to orange, and finish a robust red, adding vibrant color to your garden.
  • Growth Requirements: Thrive with 14-16 hours of light daily and prefer soil maintained at 22°C (72°F) for germination, then 17°C (62°F) for growth.
  • Harvest & Maturity: Early maturing for quicker harvest; move seedlings to larger peat pots when they reach 12 cm (5 in) for optimal development.
  • Culinary Flexibility: Fantastic when pickled, fried, or roasted, offering a variety of uses from enhancing dishes to standalone snacks.
  • Robust Plant: Weekly feed with a high phosphorus fertilizer and liquid seaweed stimulate strong root growth, ensuring resilient plants.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Start Sunset Hybrid Hot Pepper seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds lightly covered with 1/2 cm of soil, keeping it firm and moist. Maintain temperatures around 22°C (72°F) for optimal germination.

Once germinated, lower temperatures to 17°C (62°F) and provide 14-16 hours of light daily. Transplant seedlings to 3-inch peat pots when they reach about 12 cm (5 in) tall. Harden off before moving them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.

Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny location. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging. Feed weekly with a high phosphorus fertilizer and liquid seaweed to promote strong growth. Harvest when peppers turn from yellow to red for the best flavor.
