Average water needs, water regularly but do not overwater. This plant can grow quite tall, so have stakes ready for support, especially when the plant bears fruit. Mulching in raised beds will help control the weeds. Floating row covers can help young plants stay warm in early spring where the weather is cool and protect them from sun-scalding in the heat of the summer.

All peppers share a preference for a long, warm growing season. Set out transplants a week or two after your last frost, when the weather is settled and warm. Until the threat of frost has passed, keep your seedlings indoors at night, and move them to a protected sunny spot outdoors during the day.
