Transplant outside in the spring 3 to 4 weeks after last frost date. The fruit is round to oval and matures from green to red. Peppers use quite a bit of water but prefer to be watered deeply and not too often. The Hot Pepper Cherry Bomb, 'Capsicum annuum', produces 30% to 50% more than open-pollinated types and bears round, thick-walled peppers. This plant is the variety to grow for homemade pickled peppers. Plant in average garden soil with sufficient organic matter.
