Pepper Seeds
A note from one of our customers:
Grow peppers for fresh flavor and unique culinary use, to produce homemade hot sauces and spice blends, for ornamental beauty in diverse colors and shapes, and to potentially create a small business from selling produce. Homegrown peppers offer superior taste, superior nutrition, and a rewarding gardening experience due to their easy cultivation in small spaces.
For many generations, there have only been a handful of
different types of pepper seeds available to the home gardener,
but now there are literally hundreds of varieties available.
While the old open pollinated varieties we knew years ago were
fairly easy to germinate, many of the types we have acquired
over the years are more difficult and demanding.
Not to worry, as long as you follow our guidelines, you should
have excellent results.
Please read the following notes on pepper seed germination
before buying our pepper seeds, not following our guidelines
will void our replacement warranty.
Never use peat pellets for germinating pepper seed.
Peat pellets are okay for tomato seed and vegetable seed in
general and a few types of pepper seed will germinate in them,
but for some reason, most pepper seed will not germinate well,
if at all in peat pellets, we suspect it is the pH in the peat,
plus the fact that peat tends to stay soggy and holds too much
moisture against the seed, literally drowning it.
Always maintain a steady temperature of
80-85°F daytime and no lower than 70 degrees nighttime
while seeds are germinating.
If you cannot provide this, you will probably not get
germination from many varieties, especially the chili
types.
Be careful how deep you plant the
seeds.
Never plant over 1/4" deep.
Do not keep soil too wet.
Be very careful about overwatering, pepper seeds cannot
tolerate wet soil!
Remember! Different pepper types take different lengths of time to germinate. Some hot varieties can take 2 or more weeks longer that bell types.

MON027 Fish ( Slightly Hot
Pepper 5-30K Scoville Units )
The fish pepper is a unique heirloom chili pepper cultivar, primarily known for its variegated leaves and fruits that transition in color as they mature. It's an important part of African American culinary history in the Chesapeake Bay region, particularly known for its use in seafood dishes.
It is believed to have originated in the Caribbean and was brought to the United States in the late 1800s, possibly by Haitians. It gained popularity among African American communities in Philadelphia and Baltimore, especially for use in oyster and crab houses, hence its name. The pepper nearly disappeared in the early 20th century but was rediscovered thanks to the efforts of a beekeeper's grandson who had preserved seeds in a freezer.
Fish pepper plants are beautiful and quite ornamental. The foliage is variegated with striking green and white mottled leaves. The peppers themselves also change color during maturation, starting as a creamy white or pale yellow with green stripes, then ripening to orange with brown stripes, and finally turning a dark red. Some peppers can even have a brown-purple hue before turning red.
Fish peppers are considered a medium-heat pepper, with a Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) rating ranging from 5,000 to 30,000. The level of spiciness increases as the peppers mature and change color. Young, white peppers are milder, while fully ripe red peppers are at their spiciest, reaching a heat level comparable to cayenne peppers. The flavor is often described as bright, fresh, and tangy, similar to serrano peppers, with some having a subtle sweetness. There's also a genetic trait for albinism, resulting in some peppers remaining entirely white at maturity, which were prized for adding heat to cream sauces without affecting the color.
Traditionally used in seafood dishes, particularly in cream-based sauces, for which the name was coined. Fish peppers can be used fresh in salsas, sauces, and other dishes, or dried and ground into a powder. They can also be pickled. Due to their beautiful variegated foliage and colorful fruits, they are also valued as ornamental plants for gardens and containers. 80 days.

Although it is a common condiment, its use in Europe and the United States outside Armenian, Syrian and Turkish immigrant communities was rare until the 21st century, with Los Angeles magazine dating its rise in use among the broader U.S. population to the 1994 edition of The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean by Paula Wolfert. 68 days.

PEP120 Tabasco ( Very Hot Pepper!
30000-50000 SU )
The Tabasco pepper is a small, hot chili pepper native to Mexico. It is most famous as the key ingredient in Tabasco® Hot Sauce, a brand that originated on Avery Island, Louisiana, in 1868.
The plants can grow quite tall, reaching heights of up to 4 feet. The peppers themselves are small, typically 1 to 2 inches long, and have a tapered shape. They are initially a pale yellowish-green and progress through yellow and orange before ripening to a vibrant red. Unlike many other pepper varieties, the fruits of the Tabasco pepper remain erect on the plant rather than hanging down. Tabasco peppers are known for their hot and smoky flavor.
They are uniquely juicy compared to other hot pepper varieties, which makes them less suitable for drying but ideal for sauces and pickling.
The most prominent use is, of course, in the production of Tabasco® Sauce. Their juiciness and flavor also lend themselves well to salsas and pickled peppers. They can be used in any dish where you'd want a significant kick of heat and a smoky flavor, especially in "watery" dishes like soups, stews, and marinades. 81 days.
