Hot Pepper Seeds – Non-GMO Heirloom

The chili peppers worth a spot in your garden

Hot peppers reward a warm-season garden like nothing else: one plant can hand you dozens of pods for cooking, drying, and sauce-making. This collection covers the workhorses and the show-offs, from mild roasting chilies like Anaheim, Poblano, and Big Jim, through everyday Jalapeno, Serrano, and Fresno, to the fierce end of the scale with Habanero and Cayenne. Whatever your tolerance, there is a heat level here to match it.

How to grow hot peppers from seed

Hot peppers need warmth and a long season, so start seed indoors 8 to 10 weeks before your last frost and keep it warm, around 80°F, to sprout well. Move seedlings outdoors only once nights stay above 55°F, and give them full sun and steady water. Many gardeners find that a little stress and a long, warm ripening make for the hottest pods. For the step-by-step, see our guides for Jalapeno, Serrano, Habanero, Cayenne, Anaheim, and Poblano.

How to use hot peppers

Fresh, dried, or fermented, hot peppers earn their keep. Slice Jalapenos and Serranos into salsa and pickles, roast and peel Anaheim and Poblano for chiles rellenos, and dry Cayenne for flakes and powder. Habaneros bring fruity fire to hot sauce, and most chilies freeze whole with no fuss. A single good plant can season a whole year of cooking.
