We receive many orders with delivery date requests too early for their region. Use this Safe Planting Date Map to determine the ideal planting time for your area.
PLEASE don't plant too early! Chiles hate cold feet, and will perform poorly if planted too early.
Plant when night temps are above 50-55 degrees. This means planting in May for most of the country.
Please request delivery close to your safe planting date. Also remember, chile and pepper plants will not do well if they are subjected to cold temperatures during their time in transit. WE WANT OUR PLANTS TO DO WELL FOR YOU, so we reserve the right to hold up shipment until the correct planting time for your area!
Please read and follow our planting instructions which will accompany your order, paying special attention to slowly acclimate these plants to your garden.
