Growing Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid Peppers in the Vegetable Garden
One of the most important things to understand about growing peppers is that they love sun and heat. From germination through fruit production, they need warm soil and direct light for a minimum of 8 hours each day. Start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the final frost date in your area. Sow two or three seeds about a quarter inch deep in well-draining potting soil or germination mix. Coconut coir also works well for this. Pepper plants prefer 6.0-6.8 pH for soil. Keep the seeds evenly moist. Expect to see sprouts 1-3 weeks later. Thin each cell so that there is only one strong seedling each. Cut any excess seedlings down to the soil level with snips and avoid disturbing the roots of the other seedlings.
Harden off the seedlings once the final frost date is about two weeks away. Do this by placing them outdoors for more time each day until they can withstand a full day and night outside. Shelter them from temperatures below 60 F, even after they have been transplanted. This slow transition reduces transplant shock and increases seedling survival throughout the season.
Prepare the garden bed for transplantation by incorporating organic matter such as compost. Space the seedlings 18-24 inches apart and make sure they are in full sun exposure. Optionally, use containers with phosphorus-rich potting mix. Companion plant the Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid bell peppers with onions, marigolds, and kale for a well-rounded garden bed. Continually maintain the plants by watering them regularly and watching for pests and diseases. The pepper plants like moisture, but oversaturated or poorly drained soils can cause serious problems.
Pepper plants can be perennialized in hot climates. They will become woody bushes with time. They are most commonly grown as annuals, regardless of zone, in order to have a fresh start each year. Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid peppers can be harvested as soon as 60 days after transplantation.
Harvesting Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid Peppers
Harvest these bell peppers when green or yellow. When at their peak ripeness, they will be a solid and bright yellow color. These fruits will have a sweeter taste than the earlier harvested green bell peppers. Use a knife or shears to carefully remove the peppers from the plant while leaving a bit of stem attached to the fruit. Store in the crisper drawer of a refrigerator for maximum longevity.
About Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid Pepper Garden Seeds
Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid peppers are bright yellow peppers with four lobes and thick walls. They are high-yielders and may require staking if a plant is producing many at once, as is common with this variety.
If you are looking for an abundance of yellow peppers for your summer cooking or for preserving, the Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid is the perfect choice!
Bell peppers are perfect for container gardens as they rarely exceed 3 feet in height. Just be sure to provide a minimum of 5 gallons of soil per plant.
These attractive plants can be interplanted with other potted flowers for a potager or edible landscaping look. The functionality is unbeatable!
Tips From Our Gardeners
"I have found that pepper seedlings are rather slow growers. Even with a heating mat and grow lights, they are some of the slowest seedlings among those I regularly sprout. They germinate quickly but then take quite a while to put out new leaves. Be patient! Once they get out into the garden, they will catch up.

Basic Info
| Latin Name: | Capsicum annuum |
| Pepper Type: | Sweet - These peppers (think Bell Peppers) are almost all at 0 on the Scoville Scale, meaning that they have no heat at all. A handful of sweet peppers do register very low on the Scoville scale but are still classed as sweet peppers. For example, Pepperoncinis are sweet peppers but usually rank around 100 to 500 on the Scoville Scale. |
| Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid Pepper Color: | Yellow |
| Sauvignon Blanc Hybrid Pepper Flavor: | Sweet and mildly tangy |
Growing Info
| Hardiness Zone: | 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Technically a tender perennial, but commonly grown as an annual. Perennial in zones 10 and 11. |
| Days to Maturity: | 60-69 (from transplant) |
| Days to Germination: | 7-10 |
| Seeding Depth: | 0.25 inch |
| Plant Spacing: | 18-24 inches |
| Row Spacing: | 24-36 inches |
| Plant Height: | 18-30 inches |
| Growth Habit: | Upright |
| Soil Preference: | Well-draining, loose (sandy loam), slightly acidic (6.5 pH), and moisture retaining. Too much nitrogen in the soil may lead to more foliage production and less fruiting, similar to tomatoes. Peppers also need sufficient amounts of phosphorus and calcium. We recommend using a balanced fertilizer for the best results. |
| Temperature Preference: | Warmer (70-85 F). During high heat, foliar and flower development slow or pause until temperatures return to the preferred range. |
| Light Preference: | Full Sun |
Other
| Direct Sow: | No |
| Start Indoors: | Yes. Start Indoors 6-8 weeks before your last spring frost date. Harden off and transplant when seedlings are 6-8 inches tall. Bury the stem slightly deeper than the root ball. Avoid planting hot and sweet peppers right next to each other, as they can cross-pollinate, potentially affecting the flavors of your harvested peppers. |
| Pepper Pollination: | Peppers have perfect flowers (male and female parts) and will self-pollinate. However, wind and pollinator activity may increase success rates of fertilization and fruit production. |
| Plant Width: | 18-24 inches |
| Deer Resistant: | No |
| Scoville Heat Units: | 0 |
| Heat Level: | Sweet - Peppers with no heat. 0-99 on the Scoville Scale. Example: Bell Peppers |
| Growth Speed: | Early - Ready for harvest around 61 to 75 days from transplant. |
| Germination Temperature: | 80-90 F |
| Pests and Diseases: | Peppers are commonly susceptible to cutworms, aphids, flea beetles, bacterial spot, Phytophthora, sunscald, and blossom end rot. To avoid or reduce problems with pests and diseases, stick to a regular watering schedule (drip irrigation is preferred), plant into well-draining soils, and utilize practices such as crop rotation. When taking pest control measures, consider utilizing integrated pest management principles by using mechanical removal, biological control, and other cultural practices before turning to chemical agents. |
