🌱 Sow with Confidence—Covered by Our One-Year Seed Guarantee

Padron peppers are the Spanish tapas classic—pick 2–3" fruits green, blister in olive oil, and hit with salt. Most are mild, but every dozen or so hides a kicker, making eating them a friendly gamble.

Plants are prolific and early. Vitamin C and antioxidants load each bite. Let a few ripen red for a sweet-heat powder. Use the fruits fresh, roasted, pickled, stuffed, dried, or ground, depending on their sweetness and heat.

Start seed indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. Peppers generally have long growing seasons and grow slowly during cool temperatures. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring. A week before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Peppers are less cold tolerant than tomatoes.
