Best pepper ever!!!

I had 90% plus germination rate with these peppers and production was amazing! Many of the plants had more than 20 peppers each. During the end of season I harvested a wheelbarrow full of peppers not to mention all that we eat and dryed during the season. The flavor is just as amazing as the germination and production.

Delicious!

Germination rate was almost 100%. They grew really well after transplanting and the peppers are delicious! Perfect balance of sweet, spicy and smoky.

Great Results!

These seeds germinated quickly and grew into lovely, productive plants. I had so many peppers from two plants that I was giving them away to everyone who visited!

Small but tasty

Great germination. These peppers were very tasty but on the small side. Of course, this could be attributed to my growing them in a large pot instead of planting them in the ground.

not good

I bought the bucket seed packages when I started a new bucket garden last year. The pepper seeds really never grew well and were disappointing. I replaced them in June with pepper plants from a local sale that produced well.

No dice..

We planted some of these in nice, large containers with fresh organic potting soil...planted well after frost, watered regularly, got lots of direct sun. Not a single one sprouted.
