For those that have grown this I have a question. I've read the germination rate is "long", but how long is it in days?

I planted some seeds 6 weeks ago, then more seeds 3 weeks ago, and did the rest of the seeds using paper towel/plastic bag method 2 weeks ago. Not a single one has germinated yet. All my other plants have come up fine, even super hot peppers in under 7 days. I'm wondering if I got some bad seeds and need to re-order.

Thanks for any help, I was really looking forward to a row of these this year. I still have time since my growing season is long, but if they are supposed to germinate in 2 weeks or less then it looks like I need to order from a different source asap.
