I love pepperoncini, but most of the store-bought ones have been very woody the past few years. Most seem to have plenty of heat, but not much flavor as well. I have been pickling Jalapeños for years, so I thought I would try pickling my own pepperoncinis this year. I ordered these on March 8th and they were at the locker the next day. I planted them in seed trays on March 9th and on the 15th, 9 of 12 cells have sprouts! I did use heating pads underneath, and they do make a big difference. So wow, one week from clicking “buy”, I have plants growing. It’s gonna be a great year, lol.

These are half the size of a regular hot cherry pepper, smaller than a cherry tomato. I won't be stuffing them now, just pickling them. I did not expect this from Burpee.Update: I should add that 95% of the seeds I started germinated and are growing well. I had too many seedlings for myself and gave some to 3 friends. All are producing the same as mine. I should have read the discription more closley; the fruits diameter is said to be 1 1/2 " in diameter, all of mine so far are at 1" in diameter, is that "large"? In my opinion, they should be called mini hot cherry peppers.They will be a good addition to this winters batchs of hot chili

I grew these over the Summer of 2023. They did great. I'm not sure if they were "early" as they are the only jalapeno plants I had. They put off something like 100 peppers between a few plants and I accidentally planted them in a shaded area. I live in the humid Zone 7B/8 so our summers are brutal. These peppers did great. I canned them, too. They have help up well in the jar.I have already planted these seeds for the Summer 2024 garden season. I'm looking forward to it!As far as price and value - while pricey you do get more than 25 seeds. I didnt count them but I'm pretty happy with the value.

The bird pepper (chili piquín) is the state pepper of Texas, and I love making sauces with them! They typically grow wild all over south Texas, but where I live in the Hill Country, they aren't as prolific; so, I bought these Burpee seeds. I had literally a 100% germination rate, and the seedlings are strong and growing well! Highly recommend!

Not good, planted 7 seeds and only 1 sprouted. Planted another 5 seeds and NONE sprouted. The one that sprouted, I noticed the leaves were LIGHTER, and indeed, those are Ancho/Poblano Peppers, not Thai Chili! A Thai Chili leaves are darker.These seeds are supposed to replace the one that somebody came into my backyard and stole my 7 year old Thai Chili Pepper bush, dug it all out from bottom up and left a hole in my yard!There's a difference in how to grow a Thai Chili -vs- Ancho/Poblano. They are treated differently which would explain why the seeds did not sprout! So I proceeded with planting them as if they were Ancho/Poblano and not Thai... go figure, 3 of the 3 seeds sprouted!?

Updated.....This is a great seed company and for those who are not getting results here are a few things you absolutely MUST do for germination and sprouting. First get the Jiffy green house seed starting kit, it comes with peat pellet pucks that have a tiny hole in the top, you fill the tray with a little water and the pucks will rise about an inch, place the seed in the hole and pinch to cover. Place the plastic clear lid on the tray and leave it alone for 10+ days. Very important to also get a Ferry Morse heat pad, it's absolutely critical to have this little green house sitting on top of this mild heat pad, Do not use a regular homestyle heating pad because even the lowest temp setting will bake the seeds. You can purchase these two items at Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart and Amazon of course. When the plastic tray sits on the very low temperature heat pad it creates a greenhouse effect so you don't really need to water as the plastic cover sweats and dripps water on the seed pods. Once they all sprout and produce one or two tiny leaves you must remove the plastic cover. Oce it establishes a leaf it needs to breathe fresh air but it still needs warmth from the pad and it needs direct sunlight for at least 4 to 6 hours a day, don't overdue it with to much sun. I hope this helps.Well, here I am months later and I absolutely do not have a bird pepper / chili Paquin plant. The leaves are almost 3 inches long and way to big to be a Paquin plant, the correct plant only produces leaves that are an inch long or under. I honestly have no idea what plant I have growing (and I have many of this mysterious plant) so I'm going to need to order seeds from another vendor. My suggestion to this vendor is to better control the seedlings and not ship wrong ones by mistake.

Wow! nearly every seed I planted sprouted and germinated within 10 days.........but growth seems to have stalled. Thought I followed suggestions to a tee but I must have done something wrong....leaves have stopped at two and seem to have faded in color. Will try again

Hot and large! Peppers tend to take longer to sprout. So be patient. Keep them damp, keep them warm, and in good lighting. I bought two packs and we had less then a dozen that didn’t sprout, but the plants produced so many peppers it was propably a good thing!! Buying again this year!
