This is the perfect choice for gardeners looking to add a bit of heat to their dishes.
Red Cherry Hot peppers, a.k.a. Calabrese or Devil's Kiss, have a nice robust flavor with medium heat. They are suitable for pickling, relish trays, stuffed, or in a salad. There are endless possibilities that include chutneys, and a variety of salsas, and can even be used along with other hot and sweet peppers for a pepper jelly that is out of this world! Overall, they are a great addition to any garden.
Bright red peppers 1-1/2” to 2” across grow on bushy 30” tall plants. They are mildly hot, grow upright, have thick walls, and turn from green to red when mature. Easy to grow. Capsicum annuum (80 days) Heirloom - Open-pollinated
Heat Level: Medium Scoville 3,000 - 5,000
~ 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 large 5-gallon containers—Harvest peppers when they are red.
All of our seeds are GMO-free.
These peppers were very prolific and had nice heat. They are wonderful when stuffed and pickled.
I was very surprised to find all of the different seeds I needed in stock, and I received my order extremely quickly. Seeds are currently germinating, and I look forward to the results next fall!
These were abundant and perfect for pickling. I also grew your sweet versions of these cherry peppers and put them both into the jars for a bit of pepper roulette.
Zone: 6b
Germination rate: >90%
Very productive and was healthy despite inconsistent watering compared to other hot pepper varieties I also grew (serrano, jalapeno, hatch, bishop's crown) as I didn't have irrigation set up until half way through the summer. I will likely position a bean/squash trellis nearby next year so the peppers have afternoon shade.
I was looking for a pepper that was mildly hot with good flavor complexity for drying and making into rubs, taco seasoning, etc. and am very happy with this!
I cannot say enough good things about this seed company. We grew these in our community garden and they were awesome. Robust, hardy and easy to grow. Loved pickling them. Fun variety and loved the unique shape!

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!
Very good germination rate and super abundant and delicious peppers!. I had them in 10g and 5g fabric pots and they very well the last two years. Amazing to smoke and dry / freeze to have throughout the year! I just made a spicy brown porter mustard with scotch bonnets! Also made an amazing roasted scotch bonnet hot sauce! yum!
