Choose Your Seed Quantity

Select a pack of 10, 25, or 100 seeds. This listing is for seeds to grow your own peppers, not live plants or fresh pods.

Starting Your Seeds

• Start indoors approximately 10–12 weeks before your last expected frost.
• Sow 1/4 inch deep in a clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
• Maintain a soil temperature of approximately 80–85°F (27–29°C). A seedling heat mat can help provide consistent warmth.
• Keep the mix evenly moist without waterlogging and provide good air circulation.
• Allow 2–4 weeks for germination, sometimes longer, and provide bright light after emergence.

Transplanting and Care

• Harden seedlings off gradually before moving them outdoors.
• Transplant after frost danger has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F (13°C).
• Choose a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and space plants approximately 20–25 inches apart.
• For container growing, use a pot of at least 5 gallons with drainage holes.
• Water consistently and mulch to help retain soil moisture, avoiding persistently soggy roots.

Harvest and Enjoy

Let pods ripen to yellow, then snip them from the plant with garden scissors. Add small amounts to hot sauces, marinades, or spicy dishes, increasing gradually to suit your heat tolerance.

Hot Pepper Safety

Wear gloves when handling harvested peppers or cut pods. Avoid touching your eyes, face, or other sensitive areas. Wash hands, utensils, and work surfaces thoroughly afterward, and use good ventilation when preparing hot peppers. Keep seeds and harvested peppers away from children and pets.
