Product Information

50,000-100,000 SHU. The Chiltepin pepper is a wild, heirloom variety native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. Known as the “mother of all peppers,” it produces tiny, round to oval fruits about 0.25 inches in diameter. Despite their small size, Chiltepin peppers pack a fiery punch. The peppers ripen from green to a vibrant red and have a smoky, fruity flavor. Chiltepin plants are hardy perennials in warm climates and grow up to 4 feet tall. They are often used in salsas, hot sauces, and traditional Mexican dishes. Expect 50,000-250,000 Scoville Heat Units depending on the season and your location.

Seed FAQ's

How Many Seeds Per Packet?

Seed Packets vary by Variety because size of seed are slightly different. Since we measure each packet by volume we can only approximate the amount. Here’s a quick breakdown of how many seeds you can expect per packet:

🌿 Leafy Greens (Lettuce, Kale, Spinach): 300-500 seeds
🥕 Root Vegetables (Carrots, Radishes, Beets): 100-250 seeds
🍅 Tomatoes & Peppers: 25-50 seeds
🌱 Beans & Peas: 25-50 seeds
🎃 Pumpkin, Cucumber, Melons: Squash: 15-20 seeds
🌿 Herbs (Basil, Parsley, Cilantro): 200-500 seeds
🌻 Flowers (Marigolds, Zinnias, etc.): Up to 300 seeds

A single packet is usually enough for a family sized backyard garden, but if you're planting more, you may want to grab an extra!

Are our seeds organic?

Our seeds aren't certified organic but, we partner with MIgardener who sources all our seeds from 50+ small sustainable farms. We believe in these seeds for their quality and safety.

What is your fulfillment time?

We hand-pack our seeds daily to ensure maximum freshness and high germination rates—unlike other seed packets that may sit on shelves for months. During our peak season (January–April), we’re packing nonstop! Orders typically ship within 3-7 days, so be sure to order early. 😊🌱
