Crop Details

Transplant Conditions: Wait until soil reaches 65°F and nights stay above 55°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 12 days first.
Direct sow preferred — this crop has sensitive roots and does not transplant well. If starting indoors, use biodegradable pots and disturb roots as little as possible when moving outdoors.

Expert Note: For a short-season sweet pepper in the North, prioritize warm soil—transplant only after nights stay reliably above 50°F to keep Cajun Delight on its fast track.
