Customer Reviews
The leaves and peppers are beautiful & this plant could probably be in an ornamental bed- it’s that pretty. I don’t like spicy peppers so I can’t comment on the peppers but they were plentiful. The peppers start out purple so it’s not like they turn purple when they ripen, so therefore it’s kind of hard to tell the spicy ones apart from more mild ones. Our first plant, I was told they weren’t spicy so I tried one & spit it out immediately bc it was too spicy! I’m told that I did in fact have a spicer pepper but I also won’t trust their assessment of spiciness going forward. Pretty enough and fun enough to keep growing one or two even though it’s too spicy for me to eat.
Came with one pepper already and has flowered at all since.
Sounds like it could be some sort of environmental stress. Please feel free to reach out to us so we can help you troubleshoot! Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com
planted the seeds in starter pots in March, transplanted to big pot (bag) in a greenhouse in late May - the plants are growing fine, but no blooms and therefore no fruit made. would love a chance to see, and try, them... but my plants just aren't making anything.
other peppers (from new and old seeds) i did with the same methods are producing, so not sure what they're lacking.
Grew this in a large pot. All the seeds took, no issues with insect destroying it. And lots of peppers!
Wish I could add a picture!
