50,000-100,000 SHU. The Chiltepin pepper is a wild, heirloom variety native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Known as the “mother of all peppers,” it produces tiny, round to oval fruits about 0.25 inches in diameter. Despite their small size, Chiltepin peppers pack a fiery punch. The peppers ripen from green to a vibrant red and have a smoky, fruity flavor. Chiltepin plants are hardy perennials in warm climates and grow up to 4 feet tall. They are often used in salsas, hot sauces, and traditional Mexican dishes. Expect 50,000-250,000 Scoville Heat Units depending on the season and your location.
These seeds are hard to germinate. I would say they can take weeks to germinate and they grow slow. Start them early. Sow more than you think. Keep constant warm temps. I wrap the seeded cells with saran wrap or put them in plastic containers that close.
I RECEIVED MY SEED QUICK..AND have seedlings sprouting up. Due to cool weather and my potting cups located outside my chiltepin pepper seed has just began to show its self..... but my supernova tomato seeds (which are my favorite and have ordered for the second year) came up quickly and have been planted in my garden....look forward to ordering your seed next year.......thanks for the affordable seed
This is my second year trying to grow them but I haven't had any luck. Any tips?
I am not having luck with this pepper. All other peppers that are very hot sprouted very well. At this time I have 1 that sprouted out of all the seeds. I'm waiting to see if more decide to pop up. I have not used a heat mat on any of my hot peppers and they did great. So maybe this one NEEDS a heat mat.
These took a long time to mature, but they were quite flavorful and spicy. They are loaded with seeds. Great for dehydrating.

I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
