Starting your seeds

Start indoors ahead of your local planting season. Sow approximately 1/4 inch deep in moist seed-starting mix. Keep the mix consistently warm and damp, but not waterlogged. A seedling heat mat can help maintain steady warmth. Germination can be slow and uneven, so allow extra time.

Growing and harvesting

Give seedlings bright light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Transplant after frost risk has passed and nights are reliably warm. Choose a sunny position with well-draining soil, water consistently, and support plants as needed. Harvest when the peppers develop their mature yellow color.

Choose your seed quantity

Select from the available packet sizes: 10, 25, 100, 500, or 1,000 seeds. Check the selected option before ordering.

Handle with care

Wear gloves when handling or cutting peppers, avoid touching your eyes, and wash tools and work surfaces thoroughly. Use very small amounts in recipes, and keep harvested peppers away from children and pets.
