Grow Your Own Fiery Datil Pepper Seeds
Ignite your garden with Datil Pepper Seeds, the blazing hot, flavor-packed peppers that are a staple in Saint Augustine, Florida. These little fireballs ripen to a vibrant orange-yellow and deliver a vicious heat level of 100,000-300,000 Scoville units, balanced by a surprisingly sweet and fruity flavor. Perfect for hot sauces, jellies, and mustards, these peppers are a must-have for heat seekers and culinary adventurers alike.
Why Choose Datil Pepper Seeds?
Exceptional Heat & Flavor: Unlike other super-hot peppers, Datil peppers offer a complex, sweet, and fruity taste that makes them a favorite in Minorcan recipes and local St. Augustine cuisine.

Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: These non-GMO, heirloom seeds ensure you’re growing authentic, high-quality peppers just like the ones celebrated at the annual Datil Pepper Festival.
High-Yield Plants: Each plant grows up to 30" tall, producing an abundance of 3-1/2" peppers perfect for harvesting at their peak yellow ripeness.
How to Grow Datil Peppers
Start your Datil Pepper Seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant them 1/4" deep in sterile soil, maintain 85°F bottom heat, and keep them moist under bright light. Seeds typically germinate in 14-21 days. Once seedlings develop 6 true leaves, transplant them 30" apart in rich soil or large 5-gallon containers.

I ordered Datil Pepper seeds in February or March of this year. I planted seeds and plants are big and healthy, just not Datil peppers. Peppers are a darker green and have rounded bottom, not a pointed bottom like Datil Peppers. At this point, not sure what type of peppers they are.

They are not true Datil peppers as depicted in the pictures. They are the larger blunt ended straight Datil sold by BC. There is no way they got the peppers in the photo from the seeds they are sending.

These were my favorite peppers for hot sauce and salsas last season. Hope you get seeds back in stock soon so I can plant them again this season! :)

Been growing these peppers for about 7 years now and will always have them in my garden been making fermented hot sauce with these and also the traditional datil sauce that is tomato based that goes well with burgers or ribs. Beautiful plants, only need a couple plants because they are so prolific

I have two Datil bushes, yielding nicely for two months now.
The fruits are about 1.5” long and bright yellow.
Great taste and medium-high hotness.

Super tasty peppers with yummy citrus tones and not so hot that you can't enjoy them. Great in salsa! This is a pepper we'll grow every year.

I love the vibrant yellow-orange color of these spicy and fruity flavored Datil peppers. They are great in salsas and for hot sauce. Very prolific, the seeds nearly all germinated. I will definitely be growing these again!
