Hot Paper Lantern Pepper Seeds

I grew these last year in a northern climate with a shorter growing season. The roots grew amazingly long even in the seed tray, and It had many fruits that ended up bright orange/red by harvest. Best pepper performer in my garden by far.

These are good peppers although I don't think mine taste as hot as 100,000 scovilles...maybe i am building a tolerance...anyway. They are tasty and I plan to get more of them. I'm trying to narrow down my pepper growing to fewer varieties that I use for hot sauce. I have recently used these in a sauce combined with the Bhut Orange Copenhagen and a few spices. My best so far I think.

I’m pretty disappointed in pepper joes seeds this season. I’ve been growing peppers from seeds for many years and never had a problem. I love pepper Joe’s seeds, great variety and the customer service is very helpful with questions and tips. So I decided to up my game and buy a pepper Joe’s hot house and plant more peppers. I’d say 50 percent did not germinate. Only 2 of 10 hit pepper lanterns grew which is unfortunate because they are a family favorite. We decided to try and germinate them in the pots we use every year instead of the hot house thinking maybe it’s something we’d have to get used to. Still, no lanterns. The NJ growing season is short, my window for growing peppers from seed has passed and I had to buy plants from a nursery. This germinating issue also happened with your sugar peach, zavory, and chipotle’s. Needles to say I’m not happy. I’d hate to stray from pepper Joe’s but my answer to an email when I asked was to wait up to 5 months. By then the season is over. So there’s my unfortunate 1 star review. Hopefully you see this and get me back on board.
