As advertised and follow the instructions
Every year I try to really focus on one type of vegetable. 2024 is the year of the hot pepper. I ordered this mix in February specifically for the scotch bonnets and decided to just grow the rest. The packet said 30 seeds and when I germinated the seeds, it was more like 55. I generally soak seeds for 24° before planting and then plant in the coconut husks pod things (gotta protect the bogs!). They germinate very slowly but I got a 97% germination rate using a heat mat and honestly, repurposed plastic take out containers, removing heat and the cover once they germinate. I had almost given up on quite a few of them but waited another 5 days was enough. Research on the varieties indicates that some can take almost a month to germinate.I gave plenty of plants away to other adventurous folks who like hot peppers but kept about 30, most planted in pots or 5 gallon buckets. I will try to over winter those in a greenhouse (zone 5a) or in my house if I can get away with it.The only real trouble I’ve had is figuring out which plant is which variety so I know when they should be harvested. Oddly, I don’t really eat hot peppers so I’m taking pictures and asking people who eat them (and will ultimately receive them). I just like to make Jamaican food and the shops here don’t sell scotch bonnets.They are a mix. This is clearly indicated on the package and product description. Repeatedly and in bold letters. And it is grab bag style. This is also clearly and repeatedly stated.I would definitely order again, both the product and from this supplier

Yes this is a mix, didn't realize it would be in a single envelope.
Rate Features:Easy to grow: 1 there is no way to label what is what in your starter traysValue for money: There is no way to tell what see is what pepper.Flavor: There is no way to tell what pepper you are tryingEnvelopes are aren't that expensive. The seller needs to be more innovative if they want to be cheap.

Good seeds
I have about 90% germination currently and it’s only been 2 weeks. Since I planted them. Not sure what I’ll get since the packet is mixed seeds. The down side, can’t label what you have from the jump. Soon they’ll be outside and see the full results. Recommend for anyone just looking to build a new hobby around the house.

Germination was OK, ended up with 17 plants
I did a standard germination using a bowl, moist paper towel, grow light / window and a warming mat set at 85 F. Germination went well enough but not all survived the planting process. Ended up with 17 plants in total. All are performing well at the moment.

They grew
- Got 50+ seeds- They all come mixed in one package, but that should be expected, since that is how it is advertised. :P- Also got a free bag of mixed basil seeds.Started indoors near the end of Feb.Planted probably about 10-15 pepper seeds. Wish I planted more to see a better mix, but lacked the space. (There are more peppers not pictured, I think only 2 did not make it)For sure I have at least 3 varieties maybe 4.Got 3 different kinds of basil growing from the bonus packet.New to gardening. I think it is a good deal compared to buying one packet with one type at the store for $4+. This gives me a cheap but "fun" way to grow more. In the future if I want a certain type I won't buy a grab bag of seeds, lol. I can't wait to see what I get in the upcoming months.So far good experience, I would buy again in the future if I want another grab bag of seeds.Update:Added photos from July of some of the peppers that grew.Edit: 11-25-2023Bought another packet in Feb 2023. They did fantastic this time around. I started them inside again, but this time I had a grow light! Peppers take a long time to get going, I feel like you stare at dirt for an extra 2+ weeks compared to other plants. I felt like none of them were going to make it, but with some time I ended up with around 20 plants. I added 2 more pictures to show 2023 plants. Also side note the image with the tomatoes are from their mix bag of tomato seeds, lol. Also also, I over wintered one plant from last year's crop and I am still collecting the last bit of peppers from it, it is almost December.

Great seeds
First of all you need to understand that chilli, pepper plants are tropical plants, they doesn't grow just about anywhere. They need certain amoumt of heat, humidity and the proper soil tho sprout/grow.I live in Asunción, Paraguay. It doesn't get any more tropical then here (the Capricorn tropic pas less then 200 miles from here). I germinated the seeds in a butter plastic conteiner with a napkin in the bottom socked in water and the lid covering it, room tenperature aroud 25°C. They take 5 to 8 days to sprout. Once the firs pair of lives develops y transfer them to a small plastic vase. Ones they develop two pairs of true lives I move them to larger planter. If they keep growing I move them again to a even larger planter.My sprout rate is about 85 yo 90 percent.04/22: plantes are completing development and they're beginning to produce fruits.Cheery pepper and scotch bonet were the first one to flowering, couple of others are on they way to rendering fruits, but I still am unable to tell what they're gonna be

Do not buy
Do not buy. Compete rip off! You can get the individual packets of labeled pepper seeds elsewhere for much cheaper. This is packet of unlabeled seeds. I bought it because I was expecting a packet of each of the spicy pepper seeds they advertised but who knows what’s in the packet or if the seeds will actually germinate.
