Discover the Stocky Red Rooster Pepper Seeds, a robust open-pollinated (OP) heirloom that delivers the same exceptional qualities as hybrid Italian fryer peppers with the added benefit of seed-saving for future seasons. This sweet pepper is a garden favorite, producing 4-6" long, glossy red fruits with a crisp, juicy bite. Perfect for roasting, frying, or fresh eating!
This highly productive plant grows up to 3’ tall with a lush leafy canopy, shielding peppers from sun-scald while ensuring a bountiful harvest. Fruits mature from green to a dazzling vibrant red, offering a sweet, non-spicy flavor (Scoville: None). As an open-pollinated heirloom, you can save seeds from your healthiest plants year after year.
Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost, using sterile media and 85°F bottom heat for optimal germination (7–14 days). Transplant seedlings with 6 true leaves into nutrient-rich soil, spacing 36" apart. Harvest when peppers turn a deep, glossy red. 102 days to maturity.
Packet contains 10 seeds. Plant these Stocky Red Rooster Pepper Seeds and enjoy a reliable, flavorful harvest season after season!

Very productive plants, nice big pods - great for roasting, peeling and marinating for putting on sandwiches or crackers.
This sweet red pepper lives up to its promise. The sturdy, stocky plants with abundant leaf cover protect peppers from leaf scald, and each pepper is a perfectly meaty, juicy, crunchy and wonderfully sweet treat. Great for roasting on the grill! The roasted peppers freeze well for using throughout the year and adding to pizzas and pasta or just slicing to have with cheese, crackers and pesto. Makes a marvelous coulis, when blended with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lemon!
In over twenty years of gardening and trying many varieties of large and small sweet peppers, I have finally found a keeper. No more searching! Stocky Red Rooster is the best, most consistently productive, reliable sweet pepper you can hope to grow!

I'm going to grow these every year, they are HOT!! They make great poppers and salsa. Very productive, easy to grow, quick germination and fast growing plants. Thank you for the stellar seeds.
I planted several cultivars from wholesale seed. These were prolific. See all that RED (and green)?!? Looking forward to harvesting in a few days. Thank You Sandia Seed!
Plants each produced dozens of beautiful peppers. Still going strong in October in Virginia
Serrano Hidalgo Seeds fromSandia Seed produce even in the HOT drought of central Illinois this year! I love adding a little Mexican kick to my salsa but also tossing these on the grill! They have great flavor and produce all summer long!
Quintessence of pepper flavor. Productive plant. Definitely will grow again.
I had looked high & low, and searched the web with many word combinations ‘looking’ specifically for my favorite chili, the Dynamite xx Hot… so I could grow my own. The peppers were sold in Colorado at select places during roasting season, but you couldn’t buy seeds for them… anywhere!
Finally, as luck and persistence would have it, I discovered Sandia Seed Company.
Thank you Sandia! I planted them and had a great crop this year. I plan on growing them every year as well as trying some of their other seeds,
There's just something fun about growing a jalapeno that is light enough in color that some people think it's a banana pepper. LOL! I picked these just for color variety, and I'm very pleased that my plants have been loaded with them all season! We donated about 50 lbs of mixed peppers this year from our garden and I still had enough to freeze some and can more jars of recipes than we'll probably be able to use before next season. All my peppers were from Sandia Seed Company. I've never had such great pepper production before using these seeds!!
Excellent peppers, large and meaty. Easy to grow from your seeds.
This spinach germinated well, and produced way more spinach than I'd initially expected. It grew really well, was slow to bolt in the summer, and has a really nice mild flavor for salads or steamed.
Love this Hatch variety chili, next best thing to living in New Mexico! Yep, they grow in Oklahoma too!
This was my first time growing these and I will definitely be growing them from now on. Great germination and very sturdy plants that have withstood some really high winds. Huge long peppers that are excellent green or red, very easy to peel skin.
Growing these in Florida, (Recent transplant of NM).
Lovely peppers. Took a couple weeks is all and wow! I have several budding; 2 large enough to nickname. They're still in their infancy, but I can tell they are going to be great! Love the seeds!
Prudens purple was huge, productive, and delicious. Very crack resistant. Amazing!
I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.
I grow chilis for seed from Sandia in Wichita Kansas. They take longer for harvesting but make great roasting Chilis. I call them WichiHatch Chilis.
