Have always had solid germination with MI Gardner pepper seeds however this variety showed poor germination only 1 of 10 seeds germinated making it 10% germination

I almost never have problems with seed germination. I planted 6 cells with two seed/cell and after 19 days, only 2 seeds germinated. Perhaps too late, I saw your video about pepper germination and too much water. Luckily, I read your reviews about poor germination before ordering the seeds and did not use all my seeds in my first attempt. I will try again. Perhaps information on the package about pepper specific germination instructions

They are SUPER productive. But they taste like plastic raw and don't really have any spice. I love hot peppers so my palate couldn't even sense any spice on them. But I think they need to pickled or cooked coz raw they were an unpleasant taste.

I've grown this for 2 years now, and I absolutely love to dehydrate it and grind it into powder. The flavor is amazing when it is dehydrated and it makes a super addition to any dish. It is very prolific and a heavy producer.

This is a tasty little pepper which I first experienced on pizza. It was pickled, as the info says. They also look and taste great on a charcuterie board.
The seeds all germinated and each plant produced an abundance. They take a very long time to grow, so start in side early, like February or early March. I got some plants with red peppers, and some with yellow.
