Hot Portugal Pepper Seeds - Spice Up Your Garden with Bold Flavor

Grow Hot Portugal Pepper Seeds, the perfect choice for gardeners who crave a fiery kick with a touch of sweetness. These legendary chile peppers deliver a moderate to hot spice level, leaving a lingering warmth on your palate. A favorite since 1935, these seeds were praised by Joseph Harris & Co. as "the best hot pepper we know."

Why Choose Hot Portugal Pepper Seeds?

Grow your own vibrant, glossy red peppers that mature in just 65 days after transplanting. Each sturdy 4 ft. plant produces 6 in. long peppers packed with intense heat (Scoville: 30,000). Perfect for salsas, sauces, or drying, these peppers are a must-have for spice lovers.

Fast & Easy to Grow

This early-maturing variety (Capsicum annuum) thrives in gardens or large containers. Each packet contains 10 GMO-free seeds, ready to bring bold flavor to your harvest. Start indoors 8 weeks before warm nights, and enjoy a bountiful yield of fiery, sweet peppers.

Planting Tips for Success

  • Keep moist and provide bright light for germination (14-21 days)
