    Customer Reviews

    Overall rating: 3.5 / 5 from 2 reviews.

    I soaked the seeds as per the growing guide and planted three seeds per 2” soil block. Every single seed sprouted! Start on a heat mat to speed up germination.

    Hot Pepper Seeds - Jalapeno M

    The seeds produced several healthy plants in 2022, but they tasted like bell peppers. They were the shape and size of jalapeños, but they were not hot at all.
