C.Pubescens and Summer
Hi,
I have four different varieties of C.Pubescens growing for the first time. The little cold snaps here don't seem to worry the seedlings. They're coming on strong. Only a few weeks till they're transplanted. To this end, everything I read mentions their cold tolerance and Andes heritage. My summers are fierce. especially the afternoons. From what I gather it would be best to plant them in a spot out of the afternoon sun, where they can grow into perennial bushes. Does this sound right? Should I shelter them from the heat unlike peppers in general. And do you think they will fruit for me in the first year? If not I'll confine them to pots that I can relocate in winter. Thanks. |
