About Our Seeds
What is your germination guarantee?
We guarantee high-quality seeds, but germination can be affected by growing conditions. Please contact us if you experience issues.
How should I store my seeds?
Store seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Properly stored seeds can remain viable for several years.
When should I plant my pepper seeds?
Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or follow the growing instructions for your specific climate zone.
Are your seeds isolated?
No, the seeds available in this shop are all non-isolated and open pollinated. This means the plants are naturally pollinated by bugs, wind, and water. This also means some of the seeds we sell may have been naturally cross pollinated and are now hybrids. In my experience cross pollination occurs about 15% of the time with the seeds collected from my open pollinated plants. This means that about one in five seeds may be an unintentional hybrid.
How are the seeds packed and shipped?
The seeds are all hand packed inside of a labeled 2"x3" clear packet. The label will have the name of the pepper, a color picture of the pepper and some plant details, such the plant height and ripe pepper color. The seed packets will be wrapped inside of the paper packing slip along with some extra padding. This forms a padded sleeve. The padded sleeve is then placed inside of a bubble mailer. All orders are shipped with USPS Ground Advantage and come with a tracking number.
What if my seeds don't germinate?
Please reach out to us with details about your growing conditions, and we'll work with you to find a solution.
What do most people do with peppers?
Peppers can be used for many things. My favorite thing to do with hot peppers is eating them ripe and fresh off the plant. The most common use is hot sauce or salsa. They can also be used for fresh cooking, dehydrating, pickling, and sometimes they are used just to add a pop of color in a garden.
