Hot Pepper Seeds 7-pack

These peppers grow and produce! I used the same pack for 3 years in a row and have gotten amazing results. First to note I have 2ft tall raised beds with phenomenal soil that has loads of organic matter in the base (oak limbs, piles of leaves, chicken manure, cow compost) and then a good mix of compost and top soil for the top 6 inches or so. I also get full sun (sunrise to about 6pm during the summer) on these beds in zone 8b. This consistently provides me with amazing results from anything I grow in those beds. That being said these seeds are viable and produces hoards of fruit. The Serano will give you hundreds of peppers in a season. After picking all season and giving away pounds of peppers after I use the majority of what I pick I still ended up picking nearly 5 lbs from one plant (serano) yesterday that grew almost 6 ft tall. The Hungarian peppers start cool but by late season as the plant matures the peppers will get to a mild heat level but never exceeds the Jalapeno. Amazing variety for drying, pickling, making salsa, cooking with, and they freeze really well. I have yet to have any pest issues other than the Deer really liked them last year so this year I had to use netting to keep them out. Will buy again next season as I have run out but they were viable for three seasons with proper storage. 9 of 10 seeds germinate healthy starts. I typically plant 3 per pot and then once a few inches tall as needed. The plants grow really sturdy stalks but I do not prune them and typically just let them run wild. No pest or disease issues to note.

So, I bought from this company in the winter. Got the pepper seeds. I wanted to start off with a pepper I knew was hot, but wouldn't burn my mouth. These peppers sprouted, I think I had two seeds that were duds, out of 10. So that is awesome. The 2 that were duds grew, but at a much slower pace. My pictures are of some of the harvest yield I got. The plants are super tall, and more peppers are to come. Definitely worth the money for those. As for the others, next year, I. will try cayenne or serrano.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Wow, these pepper seeds are no joke! I planted the Serranos last year, and I'm still getting mad peppers a year later on their second season in Zone 10b! Turns out Pepper plants can be perennials if you're in a zone like mine! The plants sprouted well and have been super healthy. Every harvest feels like hitting the jackpot. If you’re thinking about growing your own peppers, definitely grab these seeds. So worth it! Bonus tip: If you don’t already have one, set up a vermicompost bin with a bunch of red wiggler worms. You can feed them all your compostable food scraps and use the rich compost to keep your pepper plants thriving 🌶🔥😍 Variety: Serranos

Good germination - most packets of the hot peppers were over 75%. (The "Hungarian Wax" struggled, coming up way late and only about 25% germinated.) If they produce true to type, I'd happily order again for this variety at this price. Edit: Finally harvested from all varieties, so I can report on their result. These plants mostly grew robustly and true to type. Some caveats. The 'Hungarian Wax' is mislabeled, it's absolutely a sweet banana variety - a sheep in wolf's clothing. No yellow stage, no heat, no corking. You can tell by the shape & flavor as well. The Anaheim lacked flavor and was mild and grassy. The Serrano was insanely hot - but solid taste, green or red. Growing that one again for sure. Poblano had good flavor but was poorly productive - about 3 fruit per plant. Habanero was insanely productive, 50+ fruit per plant, high heat as expected, good flavor. It's an orange type per the picture. Cayenne was slow to yield but 3 plants in a group gave a decent harvest and the heat was appropriate - fruits were long and a good size with acceptable level of seeds. Very useful in the kitchen. Jalapeno was a disappointment - no heat or flavor at green or red stage. Basically a nadapeño. Overall growing these was fun - the Habanero, Serrano, and Cayenne will go into my annual rotation as long as the seeds last, and did well in all size containers. Banana pepper (so called "wax") was fine but not what I wanted. Jalapeno was a poor line. Anaheim was bleh, Poblano was ok but not worth the space. It's a good way to get a few pepper varieties and experiment with a wide array of pepper sizes and types. Some were duds, but it was a decent value and fun to grow, and the Serrano and habanero were as good or better as any I've tried. In the future I'll stick to pepper breeders for seed to ensure the effort of growing matches the result each time.

Every seed variety sprouted and is growing beautiful full plants. Great value for money and variety! I will let you know how they taste when they’re ready to eat :p

I'm a huge pepper fan, and wanted to take a stab at growing my own and maybe make some hot sauce if I can get that far... The packaging of the peppers is very informative. They provide the heat of each type of pepper, the best time to plant, and some additional good info. I started my peppers inside (as recommended) on seedling trays. I planted these 8/28/2020. Today is 9/14/2020. It has been just over 2 weeks since I planted them and the seedlings have already sprouted and are doing great! See picture. A little "leggy" but that's my fault for not having them under a direct light source. I just have them in my south facing window which gets 5-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. So they are straining to get that sunlight, but they still seem healthy. It's my first try at growing peppers, so I wanted to keep it simple the first time around without all the extra equipment. I planted 4 of the seed types (Poblano, Jalapeno, Serrano, & Cayenne). They seem to be growing at their own individual speed, but they have all sprouted in the 2 weeks since planting. I meant to label them but somehow they got shifted around and now I'm not sure which tray is which pepper. Rookie mistake. I guess we'll find out what they are when they start growing fruit. I can't wait to keep transplanting these into larger pots and get these peppers growing!

When I bought this pepper seed variety pack earlier in the year I really thought planting a few of each of these would be "starting small." It was not, and I was apparently only prepared to care for one plant out of the many. As a new, first time gardener there were only a few seeds that didnt germinate, which I have since discovered is occasionally a problem with seed packs. They grew well under 2 T5 bulbs until they were ready to be placed outdoors, except for one plant, a jalapeno, that just seemed like it wasnt doing well. I had a few starts and stops while hardening my seedlings off, and lost a few along the way, but they all seemed to be doing well. Right up until the week I forgot I was growing a garden outside and forgot to water them. Still, that sad jalapeno that wasnt keeping up with the others has actually done quite well inside, near a window and with some supplementary lighting. So I feel pretty confident saying the seeds are great, and nect year when I try another garden I'm definitely buying from this company again.

At this time I can only say that it appears all the seeds grew into plants; but, I mislabeled a few and will have to confirm after some second planting come up that are labelled correctly. Come the end of May the 7 different hot peppers will be transplanted into my garden and we look forward to stuffing our freezer with savory additions to so many meals we cook. Our only problem is that we get so many peppers we have to skip a year or two in between. Those skips will test the viability of these seeds as they did some 2010 seeds that finally wouldn't produce. I am happy I chose this product which will introduce my taste buds to a few new varieties. You can not get a better price deal and variety selection than these. Update: 6/3/20 =- The Hungarian seeds did NOT germinate. I tried three times. Only ONE Habanero came up and it died. I'm suspect of all of them which grew with light green leaves. Don't look like my green pepper plants planted exactly in same soil and conditions. Doesn't pay to go cheap, but my normal seed supplier was out of the ones I wanted and then couldn't deliver in time because of COVID-19. I'll report back in July.
