Growing Information
The Jamaican Scotch Bonnet is a fiery, heirloom pepper that flourishes in warm, sunny locations. It's a fan of rich, well-draining soil and requires a long growing season to fully mature. Start your seeds indoors about 8-12 weeks before the last frost date. They're a bit sensitive to the cold, so make sure to transplant them outdoors only when temperatures are consistently above 65 F and frost is nowhere in sight. Give them enough space to grow, with about 14-18 inches between each plant. They're pretty thirsty too, so make sure to water them regularly, but avoid overwatering - they don't like soggy soil. And remember, these peppers love the sun, so a spot with 8-12 hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal. With a little care and patience, you'll be rewarded with a bountiful harvest of these fiery beauties.
