Fantastic success!
I started 3 batches of seeds... two of which came from Annie's, and one from another supplier. An entire packet of Orange Habanero yielded 100% germination after 2 hours of soaking in tea, using heating mats set to 80 degrees, and with proper seeding mix soil. The peppers that resulted were wonderfully hot, and had that smokey hurts-so-good flavor. My Annie's Red Habanero seeds had a 95% germination, and the other-company Carolina Reaper seeds only yielded about 55% germination. Proof is in the pudding, I'll only buy from Annie's now.

Not the easiest to grow, but so worth the effort
2020 was the first time I attempted growing Peppers from seed. It took several attempts to get the right balance of moisture, light and heat. Finally out of the entire package, one little sprout emerged! I'm still giving these 5 stars because the quality, high production, and smokey zinging spice packed into each little gem is quite unbelievable. Potted in a 10 gallon planter, I moved it inside away from wind in September, now it's January and the plant is still flowering and producing!
