Choose Your Seed Quantity

Available in packs of 10, 25, or 100 seeds. Select your preferred quantity before adding to cart. This listing is for seeds to plant, not live plants or fresh pepper pods.

Starting Seeds Indoors

• Start indoors approximately 10–12 weeks before your last expected frost.
• Sow 1/4 inch deep in a clean, well-draining seed-starting mix.
• Provide consistent warmth, ideally around 80–85°F for germination. A seedling heat mat can help maintain warm soil.
• Keep the mix evenly moist, not saturated, and allow good air circulation.
• Germination may take several weeks and can be uneven. Provide bright light after seedlings emerge.

Transplanting and Plant Care

• Harden seedlings off gradually before moving them outdoors permanently.
• Transplant after frost danger has passed and nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F.
• Choose fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny location.
• For patio growing, use a container of approximately 5 gallons or larger with drainage holes.
• Water consistently during dry spells without leaving roots waterlogged.
• Mulch around the plants to help conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from stems.
• Use a vegetable fertilizer according to its label directions.

Harvest and Culinary Uses

Allow pods to ripen fully, then cut them from the plant with garden scissors. Blend small amounts into pepper sauces or marinades, or use sparingly in soups and stews. Growing time, yield, and heat vary with conditions.

Hot Pepper Safety

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