Hot Red Cherry Pepper Seeds - Spice Up Your Garden & Dishes!

Looking to add a fiery kick to your garden and meals? Our Hot Red Cherry Pepper Seeds are the perfect choice for home gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. Also known as Calabrese or Devil's Kiss, these vibrant peppers deliver a robust flavor with a medium heat level, making them ideal for pickling, salsas, stuffed recipes, and even homemade pepper jelly.

Why Grow Hot Red Cherry Peppers?

These heirloom, open-pollinated peppers are easy to grow and produce bountiful yields. The compact 30" tall plants bear bright red, 1.5–2" peppers that mature from green to a striking crimson. With thick walls and upright growth, they’re perfect for snacking, salads, or preserving.

Key Features:

  • Flavor & Heat: Medium spice (3,000–5,000 Scoville) with a bold, slightly sweet taste
  • Versatile Use: Great for pickling, salsas, relishes, chutneys, and stuffed peppers
  • Easy to Grow: Thrives in gardens or containers (5-gallon pots recommended)
  • Heirloom Quality: Non-GMO, open-pollinated seeds for sustainable gardening
  • Fast Growth: Matures in just 80 days 

Growing Tips:

Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost. Plant ¼" deep in sterile soil with 85°F bottom heat. Keep moist and provide bright light. Transplant after 6 true leaves appear, spacing 30" apart. Harvest when peppers turn deep red for peak flavor.
