Mixed 30 Hot Pepper Mix Seeds 16 Varieties Heirloom Non-GMO Capsicum annuum

Every year I try to really focus on one type of vegetable. 2024 is the year of the hot pepper. I ordered this mix in February specifically for the scotch bonnets and decided to just grow the rest. The packet said 30 seeds and when I germinated the seeds, it was more like 55. I generally soak seeds for 24° before planting and then plant in the coconut husks pod things (gotta protect the bogs!). They germinate very slowly but I got a 97% germination rate using a heat mat and honestly, repurposed plastic take out containers, removing heat and the cover once they germinate. I had almost given up on quite a few of them but waited another 5 days was enough. Research on the varieties indicates that some can take almost a month to germinate.I gave plenty of plants away to other adventurous folks who like hot peppers but kept about 30, most planted in pots or 5 gallon buckets. I will try to over winter those in a greenhouse (zone 5a) or in my house if I can get away with it.The only real trouble I’ve had is figuring out which plant is which variety so I know when they should be harvested. Oddly, I don’t really eat hot peppers so I’m taking pictures and asking people who eat them (and will ultimately receive them). I just like to make Jamaican food and the shops here don’t sell scotch bonnets.They are a mix. This is clearly indicated on the package and product description. Repeatedly and in bold letters. And it is grab bag style. This is also clearly and repeatedly stated.I would definitely order again, both the product and from this supplier

This company sent all the hot pepper seeds in one package so you could not tell which was which. In addition, not one seed sprouted. I’m not happy with this purchase and would not buy from them again.

I knew all the seeds were coming in one mixed bag because that’s how they are described. So no surprises there! Was thinking I would just plant one of each type of seed, but apparently all hot pepper seeds look the same so jokes on me now!I planted all of them indoors in little egg cartons, germination rate was great, ended up with probably 35-40 seedlings. Since you won’t know what they are until they actually start growing peppers, I planted ALL of them in pots outside....and now my deck is a bit overrun ha!A fun pack of seeds if you are a complete amateur like me and just enjoy seeing what happens. I definitely didn’t do anything special, like put a plastic bag over the seedlings or whatever. So I’d say a pretty good value for what I got! Will update once the plants get a bit bigger to add if they grow to maturity and actually are a variety.

Love the variety pack but wish each variety in pack was labeled instead all seeds in one pack

- Got 50+ seeds- They all come mixed in one package, but that should be expected, since that is how it is advertised. :P- Also got a free bag of mixed basil seeds.Started indoors near the end of Feb.Planted probably about 10-15 pepper seeds. Wish I planted more to see a better mix, but lacked the space. (There are more peppers not pictured, I think only 2 did not make it)For sure I have at least 3 varieties maybe 4.Got 3 different kinds of basil growing from the bonus packet.New to gardening. I think it is a good deal compared to buying one packet with one type at the store for $4+. This gives me a cheap but "fun" way to grow more. In the future if I want a certain type I won't buy a grab bag of seeds, lol. I can't wait to see what I get in the upcoming months.So far good experience, I would buy again in the future if I want another grab bag of seeds.Update:Added photos from July of some of the peppers that grew.Edit: 11-25-2023Bought another packet in Feb 2023. They did fantastic this time around. I started them inside again, but this time I had a grow light! Peppers take a long time to get going, I feel like you stare at dirt for an extra 2+ weeks compared to other plants. I felt like none of them were going to make it, but with some time I ended up with around 20 plants. I added 2 more pictures to show 2023 plants. Also side note the image with the tomatoes are from their mix bag of tomato seeds, lol. Also also, I over wintered one plant from last year's crop and I am still collecting the last bit of peppers from it, it is almost December.

All 30+ seeds are one envelope. Mystery pepper plants on the way!

Not.\nAll seeds came up.Don't know which ones came out, but some did come up.You get what you pay for

Seeds were well packed and delivered on time. I planted 12 of them and not one germinated, four weeks later I planted 12 more and not one of them germinated. No idea how they were handled prior to shipping.
