Carolina Reaper Seeds – World’s Hottest Pepper – Heirloom Quality, 10+ Seeds Per Pack

A gift gift for son-in-law.

Should have read the reviews! I received 11 seeds and promptly planted them in seed starter with a variety of other peppers, germination was horrible!!! Don't buy these overpriced crappy seeds. I had great success with the other seeds in the same tray, of the 11, 4 sprouted after a week, most were "helmet heads" that I managed to salvage only to watch the primary leaves wilt and die off. Extremely disappointed in this crappy product! My other seeds are vigorous and growing rapidly, after 3 weeks the Reapers that managed to break ground are dead!!! What waste of time and money! You need to stop selling these NOW!!!

Sprouted pretty quickly need to keep it in direct sunlight had to bring them in for the winter they turned out great got tons of peppers

Obviously old seed. 0/12, under identical conditions as others with >95% germination. Thanks for wasting my time, money, energy and space. That's yours in the back of the pic, in the empty cells.

Very finicky less than half sprouted

Just as you’d expect!

It's still a little early for me to confirm these are Carolina reapers, but the seeds are pepper seeds and all of them appear to be properly developed, no indication of viability issues. There was a tiny amount of pepper debris in the seed packet, but not enough to obscure finding the 15 seeds in my packet. This variety of pepper does require a little more care than others to get started. Unless your germination area is naturally very warm, you will need a heat mat and a bit of patience. These can be very slow to germinate if you don't keep the seeds at the optimum temperature (and maintain appropriate moisture).

Did not grow.
