Starting habaneros from seeds?

JerryHaskins · January 13, 2018

I looked and didn't see a thread on this.

I was given a bunch of different varieties of habanero pepper seeds for Christmas.

I normally buy habaneros pepper plants at the local big box store and have good luck with them.

But this year I am kind of "forced" to start them from seeds.

I have some heated seed starting mats and trays and grow lights, but I am not sure when to start them indoors.

Or should I just wait on warmer weather and start them outdoors in peat pots?

Anybody got any guidance?

I'm in Zone 8a and our last frost date is March 13.

Thanks.
