Space your mini peppers at the appropriate height to give them long, productive rows. [substeps] As with the shrub varieties, the more seedlings you plant, the stronger they will be.

[substeps] Most mini peppers do best when planted in the ground, especially if your crown plant is stationary and you haven't actually planted the seeds yet. Thus, if you choose to get seeds from a pepper, you should take seeds from the kind of pepper you'd like to reproduce. Choose one that is fresh, healthy, and from a hardy plant. A starter plant should have about 0.5-1.5 inches (1.6-1.6 cm) of stem each. You can also plant a stem in soil instead.
