Gorgeous Peppers!

These really are the best looking peppers you can grow, they are prettier than flowers with all their colors. We dried and crushed them at the end of the season for our spice cabinet, they have a nice heat!

Best ornamental pepper seeds!

These are beautiful pepper plants, with a literal rainbow of color. We enjoyed their beauty all summer long, then clipped the whole plant, hung it in our garage to dry the peppers. Now they're crushed into hot pepper flakes that we enjoy on everything. We'll grow these every year! Thank you for the wonderful seeds.
