Grew great in Colorado

Five out of the 6 seeds I planted sprouted, so I had five plants, they are finally starting to ripen here in Denver, Colorado. Wish we had a longer season! I plant them in pots so I can move them inside when our first cool weather hits to keep them going and ideally ripening before it winter comes. I love these in your Carolina Reaper salsa recipe!

Carolina Reapers

We planted our seeds in seed trays with grow lights and heat mats. The reapers germinated over the course of 2-3 weeks after planting. We got 100% germination. The plants started slowing but have come on pretty strong. The photo shows the plants as they are six weeks after planting. We're happy with them so far and are looking forward to a good harvest.

Badass Pepper Seeds!

I ordered, Habanada, Carolina Reaper, and Hatch Peppers 🌶️, I had 95% germination rate, but it was partially my fault because I had some stem rot. You want good peppers…Sandia 💯
