Garden Notes

Plant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. King of the North performs well in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent watering.

This variety is especially suited for cooler climates and shorter growing seasons. Plants are productive and reliable, making them a great choice for garden beds, raised beds, and containers.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.
