Chillies & Sweet Peppers FAQs
When is the best time to start growing peppers and chillies in the UK?
You can plant out peppers and chillies after the last frost has passed (typically by the third week of May) or grow them indoors in pots at any time of year.
What type of soil do peppers and chillies prefer?
Peppers and chillies do best in a fertile, well draining soil that’s had plenty of compost or well rotted manure mixed in.
How much sunlight do pepper and chilli plants need?
Peppers and chillies need full sun to produce flowers and fruit, so they should be planted in a position with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day throughout the growing season.
