Last year I sowed 7 habanero seeds and they germinated: (2) 9 days, (1) 11 days, (1) 12 days, (3) no sprouts. The seed was about 5 years old. I grew out 2 of the plants in my garden and gave 2 away.
I've never really noticed the difference in sweet or hot pepper germination time. Last year a few of my bell peppers took 16 days, most around 10.
Maybe the superhots are different. I'll be starting some Carolina reaper this year so I guess I'll find out.
