Beaver Dam Pepper Seeds - A Hungarian heirloom pepper that is mildly hot and tastes like a bell pepper with a hint of heat. It is horn-shaped, 6” long, and 2-1/2“ wide at the shoulder. Peppers start off bright green and mature to red when ripe. Compact plants grow only 18” tall. The Beaver Dam pepper was brought to Beaver Dam, Wisconsin in 1912 by the Hussli family. It is crunchy and sweet with slow-building mild heat. Perfect for stuffing, in traditional goulash, or for magnificent pickled peppers. Beaver Dam's flavor will make it worthy of your garden!
Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open Pollinated
Heat Level: Mild Scoville: 1,000
~ Packet contains 10 seeds.
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, and 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 green.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
I have just sowed the seeds, they are currently germinating, but I have always had good luck with your other pepper seed varieties so I'm sure they will do fine weather permitting.
Great seeds, nearly all sprouted, grew quickly into robust plants loaded with peppers. We loved them so much, we will grow these every year!
I use your Easy Refrigerator Pickled Peppers recipe to pickle these peppers all summer long. They're delicious and crunchy. Nice looking, productive plants.
I grew the Beaver Dam for the first time in 2018. It took a long time for the peppers to turn red, but it was worth the wait. We used these to make traditional stuffed peppers. The mild kick was a welcomed surprise. I would use these as a poblano, as well. I also used these to bulk up my hot sauce ferments. This is a great pepper that I will grow every year.

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.
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.
Great seeds, good germination, plants grow quickly and produce lots of pods for roasting. Great flavor and just the right amount of spice. We grow these every year in our garden in Utah.
These are so beautiful, tasty, and meaty. They make a great pico-de-gallo!
These were so big, one tomato can make a nice big bowl of salsa. They do have amazing flavor and color.
These were so tasty and very productive. Great for salsa.
I tried these purple Cherokee seeds on 2024. This is the first time growing these purple Cherokees and were amazed at the ease of germination and taste
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!
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.
My favorite green chili to grow. Plenty of heat and after roasting sit perfectly on a hamburger. Also my wonderful wife makes Puelo Chili jam that is a real crowd pleaser
I was looking for a spicier New Mexico red chile and this was awesome! It is a beautiful looking pepper and the taste is superb.
Very productive plants even up here in New England!
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.
These plants were super healthy all season long and produced a LOT of fruit. They'll add heat and color to any dish. They made my cowboy candy and pickled jalapeños extra special!
