Discover the unique charm of Beaver Dam Pepper Seeds, a treasured Hungarian heirloom prized for its sweet, crunchy flavor with a slow-building mild heat. These horn-shaped peppers grow 6" long and 2-1/2" wide, transitioning from bright green to vibrant red when ripe. Perfect for stuffing, goulash, or pickling, they bring a delightful balance of sweetness and gentle spice to your garden and kitchen.
Brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, in 1912, this open-pollinated heirloom thrives on compact 18" tall plants, making it ideal for small gardens or containers. With a mild Scoville rating of 1,000, it offers just a hint of warmth - like a bell pepper with a subtle kick. Its versatility shines in dishes, from stuffed peppers to tangy pickled treats. Try out the Easy Refrigerator Pickled Peppers Recipe.
Start these heirloom seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant 1/4" deep in sterile soil, maintain 85°F bottom heat, and keep moist. Germination takes 7–21 days. Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into rich soil (30" apart) or 5-gallon containers. Harvest green or wait for a bold red finish.

I have just sowed the seeds, they are currently germinating, but I have always had good luck with your other pepper seed varieties so I'm sure they will do fine weather permitting.
Great seeds, nearly all sprouted, grew quickly into robust plants loaded with peppers. We loved them so much, we will grow these every year!
I use your Easy Refrigerator Pickled Peppers recipe to pickle these peppers all summer long. They're delicious and crunchy. Nice looking, productive plants.
I grew the Beaver Dam for the first time in 2018. It took a long time for the peppers to turn red, but it was worth the wait. We used these to make traditional stuffed peppers. The mild kick was a welcomed surprise. I would use these as a poblano, as well. I also used these to bulk up my hot sauce ferments. This is a great pepper that I will grow every year.

I grow your basil seeds every year, they are easy to start from seed and grow into nice bushy plants that we harvest all summer long to use to make caprese salads (when the tomatoes start to ripen), as well as pesto. I like to make a big batch of pesto, then freeze "pucks" of it in a muffin tray to store in a container in the freezer for some summer flavors all winter long. These seeds always have great germination. I also like to let a couple of basil plants bloom as the pollinators love the blooms and they are pretty, too!
Bought the Green Chile Intro - 3-Pack and was able to start indoors the Big Jim Legacy and Sandia Select with a 100% germination rate thanks to the clear instructions provided. As of Mid July in NC zone 7A on the 8 chile plants(6 Big Jim, 2 Sandia) in the garden I have 5-7 large chiles per plant. The smallest chiles are over 7” and I’m already getting another flush of flowers for round 2 of delicious peppers. Highly recommend these chiles!!!
My sister loves gardening, and is quite a seed collector and grower. She'll love all these classic varieties to add to her garden and seed box. Zucchini are an old stand-by, as well as pumpkins, beans, radishes and more. She's never grown spaghetti squash, so that will be a fun addition.
Perfect looking tomatoes in a golden color with hints of red, they are gorgeous. These Rainbow Tomatoes were definitely the most productive tomatoes of the season last year, so our countertop bowl was filled with their golden deliciousness.
Make sure to use a sturdy tomato cage (not those wirey floppy ones that they most commonly sell!) - we ended up using some wood stakes to create a frame around the plants as they were so huge and loaded with fruit later in the season.
We just planted our seedlings for these this year, looking forward to watching them grow!
Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.
One of the best cherry tomatoes you'll ever eat!
I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.
These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.
We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!
