I've grown them from seed. They are not the fastest growers but start well enough. In 2013, 2 germinated within a week and the 3rd at 12 days. This year 3 within a week and the other 2 within two weeks. 100% germination both years.

However, you have to be aware that I germinate with the paper towel in baggie method so I see every germ. If you germinate in dirt, then you see only the ones that germinate and break the soil. The longer-germinating peters tend to be weak and might not get their heads up.

Fun pepper, though. Don't bring them to a church dinner.


BTW, one of the 2013 plants was an interesting cross, but that's a whole nother story.
