They sprouted once but then stopped and diet. I chock it up to user error because I left the soil too wet. I'm trying again so we'll see how it goes.

- OscarOH, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3/11/26They were so plentiful and cute
I had four plants, this picture is just one harvest from two of the plants, (ignore the other peppers). Each plant made SO many peppers throughout the summer, I'm in zone 6b. They also tasted great and were easy to use, I will be planting these every year from now on.

- Ammie C.GA, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars2/24/26Fair Germination so far.
Fair germination. I only planted four seeds (two of each color), and one of each color sprouted. They were on the edge of my tray, and I think the failed seeds dried out. I will try again. I'm excited to try these adorable peppers.
