I just bought another packet of your carolina reaper seeds – last year when I got around to it you were out of stock so I'm glad to see they're back in! Your seeds have been much better for me than any I've grown from other seed companies. They have quite high germination for a super hot pepper, and they grow healthy and true to seed. They are also the best priced reaper seeds I've seen. Thanks for offering these every season! This year I decided to order early.
We had 100% germination of these carrot peppers this year and they don’t disappoint. They survived the cold until the beginning of November in US zone 7A. The heat was great, a good spice that doesn’t burn your tongue off in any dish and great fruity flavor. There are 2 things to keep in mind when growing these:
1. The plants are small. So make sure to grow enough of them if you like spice.
2. The peppers loose their flavor fast when picked. Within 2 days of picking the flavor is about half as good because they dry out quickly.
I got my seed catalog in the mail today.... How in the world am I going to be able to choose which peppers to grow? They all sound AMAZING! Love all the pics and recipes too. Two thumbs way up.
😆 my new favorite seed catalogue. Soooo many peppers to read and dream about. It's awesome you have the short season peppers and tomatoes marked, I am in a very short growing zone and it's hard to grow varieties that need longer than 70 days as we often get early frosts come September for the past several years. keeping this one on my kitchen table to plot all winter long about which peppers to grow next season. Narrowing down the 100 peppers to 20 or so will be difficult. Wish my garden was bigger!
I love it!! So many beautiful pictures of peppers and some fantastic recipes and tips for growing peppers. This one is a keeper.
These are four perfect jalapeño varieties... the seeds germinated quickly and grew into robust plants that provided tons of pods for poppers and salsas. The Lemon Spice was my personal favorite as it has a lot of heat, but the other three were great too. Delicious!
There are so many ways to enjoy Shishitos, but my favorite is just to pan fry them whole with some garlic and olive oil. We gobble them up, stems and all.
Adoro esse pimento fica bonito na salada ate como ao lanche
Isto e riduculisimo hahahahaha so meti 5 estrelas de rir
Yum na minha salada fica bem especialmente se levar assim anchovas ou peixe fumado
Gsoto mas nao e muinto as vezes como como um snack ou nas saladas mas nao e o melhor
Eu adoro esse pimento eu vi nao e picante mas e doce perfeito para uma pessoa apreciadora de pimentos como eu
While I have had great luck growing Goat Horns and other peppers I have yet to have any Pequin seeds produce any peppers for me. They are native here so I don't understand why they grow well until about a foot tall and then just stay green and produce no flowers or peppers. This was my third try. I have purchased nursery plants and they do well but not the seeds.
This season and last I also have purchased seeds for both myself and my son and neither of us have had any luck at all with Pequins. All the other seedlings thrive.
I'm going to grow these every year, they are HOT!! They make great poppers and salsa. Very productive, easy to grow, quick germination and fast growing plants. Thank you for the stellar seeds.
I planted several cultivars from wholesale seed. These were prolific. See all that RED (and green)?!? Looking forward to harvesting in a few days. Thank You Sandia Seed!
The plant only grew up about 2 inches. The plant did not produce anything.
Hi! Sorry to hear you had a poor experience with our seeds.
Sandia Seed makes every effort possible to ensure your success.
Here are our tips for success:
1. Seedling mix, never peat moss, cover seed 1/4”.
2. Moist at all times, can’t dry out once, seed will die.
3. Warm at all times, if they get cold the clock starts over.
4. Patience, don't compare peppers to any other vegetable germination times.
Pepper seeds only germinate when it is warm, because they want to complete their life-cycle and produce fruit. There is no reason for them to start growing when it is cold or dry. Each pepper variety takes a different amount of time to germinate. It can be 7 days or it can be over 45 days. More info at sandiaseed.com/pages/grow.
If, you have followed our instructions, and still do not get your seeds to germinate, please contact sales@sandiaseed.com with your order info and the seeds you had trouble with. We will go over your germination procedure and find a solution for you. And we can offer replacement seeds or a seed refund.

I pretty much use Sandia seeds exclusively! A few years ago I just happened to order your Jalapeño M. To me it's the perfect Jalapeño! Really nice size! Perfect heat for what we like! Wonderful flavor with a meatyness that's perfect for many different uses! I make my own Sriracha so I wait for them to turn red. They're one of my base peppers for my sauce! I praise them to all my personal friends and to members of groups that I belong to!
Plants each produced dozens of beautiful peppers. Still going strong in October in Virginia
Serrano Hidalgo Seeds fromSandia Seed produce even in the HOT drought of central Illinois this year! I love adding a little Mexican kick to my salsa but also tossing these on the grill! They have great flavor and produce all summer long!
Initially these peppers gave me some trouble getting started. Comparatively there was a lower germination rate as compared to the other seeds I purchased from this site. Growing indoors was also not as easy for this variety. However, once I moved outdoors the plants grew strong and tall. The pods were numerous, healthy, and changed from green to red as they ripened. No heat whatsoever. The pods have a meatiness to them that is different from a shishito but still have a vegetal flavor when green and a bit sweeter when red. The pod had a medium-low quantity of seeds and are relatively thin-walled. I really was pleasantly surprised and am thankful I managed to enjoy its fruit!
Quintessence of pepper flavor. Productive plant. Definitely will grow again.
100 percent germination, grew as well or better than 'short season' annuums. No fuss, pods as good as advertised. A new favorite, will grow again.
I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,
