Thai Hot - Their fiery zing adds incredible heat and spiciness to Asian cuisine! This plant blossoms profusely and produces a bounty of small heirloom peppers that grow in an upright direction. This small plant is ideal for container gardens.

The thin-skinned 1-1/2" peppers grow upright on small 18" plants. They mature from green to red. Capsicum frutescens (90 days)

Heat level: Extra Hot. Scoville Heat Units 50,000 - 100,000

~ Packet contains 10 seeds.

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light, and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 36” apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green or red.

Delicious chillies + you can eat the leaves, too!

Great seeds that sprouted nicely and grew into healthy plants. We enjoy the peppers, but we also like to make a Filipino soup called Tinola from the leaves of these Thai Hot pepper plants.

1 chicken
1/2 piece green papaya cut into wedges
1 tablespoon garlic minced
1 piece onion chopped
1 thumb ginger cut into strips
2 tablespoon fish sauce
1 cup Thai pepper leaves
3 tablespoons fish sauce (or soy sauce)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Sauté the garlic, onion, and ginger
Put-in the chicken and cook until color turns light brown

Add the fish sauce. Stir. Pour rice washing into the cooking pot. Let boil. Cover the pot and simmer for 45 minutes. Note: add water if needed. Add green papaya. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the hot pepper leaves. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Season with ground black pepper. Note you can also add fish sauce or salt if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve hot. Share and enjoy!

Love these hot peppers!

Tasty, hot flavor – I love using these for drying and crushing into hot pepper flakes for the table year-round. Beautiful plants, too, almost ornamental.

Best Peppers for Containers

Let customers speak for us

from 1305 reviews

Fantastic! I will be ordering from Sandiaseed from now on.

Germination for nearly all of my varieties was 3-5 days (95% - 100% success rate). My varieties include: Red Ghost, Carolina Reaper, Trinidad Scorpion, Devils Tongue, Cayenne Ring of Fire, Habenero Red, Yellow Jamaican, Paprika Numex, and Bolivian Rainbow. Another thing that I really appreciated is that each packet seemed to contain 20% more seeds than indicated (each 10 seed pack contained 12 seeds) - Not sure if that is standard but it was a nice bonus.

Sun Gold F1 Tomato Seeds

I grow these for habanero hot sauce

I've found that when you combine roasted carrots, habaneros, lime juice and garlic, it will make the best hot sauce of your life. I think it's the sweetness and depth of the carrots that make the sauce even better, and pairs perfectly with the habanero heat. I got the inspiration from one of my favorite store-bought hot sauces, Marie Sharp's Habanero hot sauce. Sometimes I add some of your Chef's orange tomatoes too to make more of it, and they also give more flavor to the hot sauce and help tame the heat a bit. I grow these in my garden every year along with your orange habaneros, orange tomatoes and other hot peppers and veggies. Very reliable.

Like flowers!

These fabulous peppers added lots of color to our patio pots. So pretty in multiple colors, plus you can pick them and add to salsa for a nice spicy kick. These are fun in any ornamental edible garden.

Cherokee Purple Tomato Seeds

Great germination rate!

These germinated in two days. I started them in midsummer and they fruited by late fall in my zone 10b garden and are overwintering just fine. I’ll have more to harvest by late spring. I made my red sauce for pozole for Christmas with my harvest!

Big Jim Chiles

Big Chiles with just enough heat to add to green enchilada's. The flavor after roasting is fantastic. Since green chile roasting is not a local thing in Eastern Washington we us a weed burner. The smell of roasting peppers is heavenly.
