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.

Concord Seedless grapes look great. They are growing beautifully.
I have never started my garden from seeds, but after watching several of your youtube videos I decided it was time. So far, I have been able to start the tomatoes, squash, green beans and pumpkins. Everything I planted has come up. I plan to buy more seeds in the future, as this has boosted my confidence in the garden.
I am kind of stunned. I planted these shortly after they arrived in spite of unusual wet, cold weather in southern Ohio. Both vines are flourishing. Currently working on a support system and a way to protect them from the local varmints before they're part of the buffet I seem to plant every spring.
Nice big phat roots on 'em too, honestly the bed wasn't even prepared for how big the roots were. Which is a good "problem" to have if I'm being unclear
This is only my third go with gardening and so naturally I thought: “I oughta plant a few extras just in case”. Shortly after sown, 22 of 24 of the sunspot dwarf sunflower seeds have germinated! No clue where I’ll put them all yet but it’s a problem I’m happy to have. 🙂 Note:
One was not in the photo, I hadn’t moved it over to the larger pot yet. Also, If you’re a first time grower of sunflowers, please know this will not be enough room for this many of them. This photo is of a temporary home for them for just a few days while I sort more space. I didn’t plan to have so many growing this year. #Grow Bigger
