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, 30” apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest peppers when they are full size and glossy dark green.

All of our seeds are GMO-free.

Wrong seeds, bad customer service

Ordered in 2023, planted in 2024 (my entire jalapeno crop for the year), and discovered that they were not jalapenos. I politely contacted customer service. Sandia offered a very tepid "apology", blaming a supplier, and let me know that they had long been aware of the problem. I wish they had let me know so I could have made different plans. And no, Sandia did not offer replacement seeds as a gesture.

Jalapeño M Pepper Seeds - ON SALE

Seeds arrived quickly and packaged well. Happy with price. Still in growing stage

they have all sprouted

ask me again in a few months. Using heating pad, and covered seeding tray with about 16 hours of light every day. Each one is maybe an inch tall right now

Excellent pepper

Perfect germination with a warm pad indoors, very vigorous plants. We just did our first pickle and I had some raw and they are spicy and flavorful even when relatively young. Looking forward to eating way too many and having spicy gut.

Awesome peppers!!!

Boy were these peppers amazing! About seven months after I planted the seeds, I picked a pepper and cut it up into thin slices and put those on my sandwich, and boy was it good!!!

Best Jalapeno Seeds

These are my favorite jalapenos to grow – they are abundant and nice and spicy. I've been growing these jalapeno seeds for the past five years, and have never been disappointed. Thank you!

Nice and spicy

Large size makes these great for poppers. Great seed germination. These have earned a new permanent place in my garden I grow from seed.

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.

We let these hang dry, then ground them up – they made the tastiest pepper flakes. They have a nice kick, but good flavor too. Easy to grow plants, pretty peppers.

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!

Greg

Guajillo Chile Seeds

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.

Grew these in MI, zone 5a.

Plants were quite bushy and full of peppers. Great flavor. Made a wonderful little Ristra with some of the later harvested peppers. Will continue to grow these yearly.
