We encourage you to look around for seed varieties and research the right types for you. Pubescens are great for cooler climates, while chinense require long growing seasons and very warm weather throughout.
It is easy to over-extend yourself, so be sure not to bite off more than you can chew in your pepper garden! For many, just a few plants are enough each season. There is always next year ;).
The major species include:
- Capsicum annuum
- Capsicum baccatum
- Capsicum chinense
- Capsicum frutescens
- Capsicum pubescens

“Grow something you cannot buy in the grocery store”. Truer words have never been spoken.
So my neighbour that has got me into growing produce, tomato and baby corn, and I am finding it an amazing way to beat the depression I have.. you plant you nature you look forward to the harvest... longterm thinking reduces risk of short term negative thinking.
So any way he brought back a packet of pepper seeds, 8 out of 10 have sprouted in the first week.. I know it is late but they outside in a mini green house and they are quite a niche pepper...
The Peter Pepper is an heirloom pepper that I will harvest seeds from to ensure it survives.
For anyone in a cooler climate without much sunlight, I highly recommend Murasaki and Shoshito peppers.
I’m in Illinois and due to giant trees in my neighbor’s yard, I get almost no direct sunlight. These two Japanese varieties have been by far the most prolific for me.
Thanks man
I got Shishito seeds from a friend in Japan. I liked it, but is not a hot pepper I grow all my peppers together in pots on a long table so the dogs cannot pee on them. Unfortunately they cross at will so the next generation is a hodgepodge. Makes it all interesting. I raise them for my fun and for my son-in-law, who loves very hot peppers. I planted seeds from a Canadian Supplier this year - Bhut Jolokia, Yellow Habanero, Carolina Reaper, and Scotch Bonnet. I started them inside very early - like November. They did well and were doing well outside until they got a heat-related bacterial wilt along with the neighbouring tomatoes. I moved them to their own table removed from the others and they finally started to recover from the wilt. Now setting good fruit. I would like to hear more about cross-pollination as my Carolina Reapers provided only sterile, unproductive plants that were big, but useless and the few peppers had no seeds. That was when they were grown together with annum species.
@@jamesarcher473 Sadly, none of my super hots (Bhutlah, Reapers, Ghost etc) survived. Habaneros are the hottest I was able to grow this year, but they are refusing to ripen.
This year I planted from my own saved seeds (as I do every year) Ring of Fire, THai, Shishito, Cayenne, Noboru’s Hybrid Pepper, and Cheyenne(this is actually a variety that developed from the original hybrid Cheyenne. I got a variety of types from the first generation seeds and decided to plant only this one. Nice size and yellow ripened. I save my own seeds every year and it makes things more interesting. Can be surprising sometimes. I save all my own tomato seeds as well. Tomatoes do not usually cross pollinate, but it appears it might be pretty common with peppers.
I did not finish. I grow my peppers in pots. I mix my own soils and I find the peppers do better in pots than in the garden. Easier to give them attention and they produce “tons” of peppers that my daughter dries and then converts into various spicey hot sauces (using my tomatoes as well).
I stopped by to learn a bit more about some seeds I ordered from the Chile Pepper Institute and got sucked down the wormhole. Who knew there was SO much to learn about peppers???
The "habanada" looks like what we call "pimento" peppers in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. It is an absolute must for our everyday cooking and green seasonings.
Nice! We’ve seen Trinidad “perfume” varieties that are low or no heat
Hello from Germany 👋😁

Thanks for all the info on the videos. Love the content and have learned a lot
I am growing sugar rush, ghost, Trinidad scorpion, jalapeno, Habanero, and maybe a few others too.
How's the sugar rush taste?
Calvin, I cannot believe I missed watching THIS MOST IMPORTANT video of all time for beginner hot pepper growers like me!!! Thank you so much for linking me to this video
I'm so glad you checked it out and enjoyed!
great website, glad to have been recommended it. superb information, thank you!
You guys are so informative! I have learned so much from you guys!

no disrespect, is it spelled chiles?
This is amazing. AMAZING! Keep making videos!!!
Just subbed. Man didn't know there were that many varieties 🌶🌶🫑🫑. Like the sound of the cooler climate ones.Thanks for the info / advice. Will be following from across the pond🏴.Thanks for sharing 👍. Robbo.
Awesome, thanks for watching! Glad to have you here :)
Excellent informative video. Nice to learn something beyond all the basics.
Maybe do a part two! ⭐️👍🏼🤩💚❤️
Well done! Amazing, delicious world we live in! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! It sure is..
Thanks for sharing your passion. I started branching out my pepper verities because the jalapeno and cayenne were not what I was looking for. Because of your channel I now have a number of sugar rush peach, serrano, Buena mulata, passilla, among other verities.
Thank you for the inspiration.
That is awesome, thanks for sharing and good luck with the new types!
Great video! Loved all the info.
Yes on the Lesya pepper. Grew ot in Portland OR in 2020 and loved it. So much better than a bell. Trying the Fish pepper next year.
Good information. Your video seems to be backed up by a lot of research and experience. The Pepper Geek is morphing into the Pepper Guru. Keep pursuing your passion and you will be the go-to pepper expert
Last year I grew 9 varieties and 35 plants this year amping it up to 16 varieties and 50 plants. To mention a few for this year; habanada, pimiento rojo, orange and golden cayenne and the yellow lava 7pot.
Those red striped peppers were awesome!
Just found your channel today, and I am hooked!! I'm not even the most adventurous pepper person. But this year I decided that these darn peppers were not going to allude me again. I've had meh success with growing peppers for about 7 years! To be fair, I haven't taken the time to delve into the specifics of the fruit, more than the cursory basics. But this year is the year darn it! I will have an abundance of peppers 🌶🙋🏽♀️!!
Heck yeah! Good luck! 😁
Just discovered you two lovely folk and have been binge watching your vids for the last week. I grew approximately 400 Chilli plants (you say peppers) last year, but they were 2 maybe 3 different varieties tops. I had the seeds left over from something else, they were actually about 8 years old and I wasn’t expecting them to do much, but they did.
With last year being a reasonable success and being a huge chilli fan, eating wise, I decided to throw myself head first into it this year. Here is a list of what I’m growing this year.
Aji Amarillo, aji Verde, beaver damn, chile de onza, chimayo, corbaci sweet, Orozco, tolls sweet Italian, jelapeno and purple jelapeno, Willy chilli or penis pepper to you, scotch bonnet, orange habanero, rokita, Mexican hot, biquinho red, ancho grande and pablano, Serrano, pepporoncini, big Jim, cascabel, pasilla bajio and guajillo.
I’m using the info in this video to help find each plants ideal final container size, I sincerely thank you and your lady friend for the great work, subbed with all 3 accounts 🤘
Wow, that’s a great variety of chillis! Thanks for your support and good luck with this year’s crop ☺️
Thanks for the Celsius translation!
It would be cool to have an update with your own plant experience. Watching this again. Great video.
Very informative video. Great stuff, keep it up
I am glad to see the link to New Mexico State in the links. I bought Joe Parker and Big Jim, plus some poblanos from them this year. They were excellent seeds. I also am growing a package my son gave me labeled “peppers”. I hope to learn what they are likely to be by watching your videos!
Haha, that sounds like a fun mystery plant. We'll be filming more outdoors going forward as the plants get bigger and bigger. Glad you got some NMSU seeds - love their mission! In case you didn't know, you can become a donating member and they send a free packet of "rare pepper seeds" every year.
I'm harvesting Jamaican Scotch Bonnets, Fish Peppers, Buena Mulatta, Chinese Five Color, Apocalypse Scorpion, Jay's Peach Bhut Jolokia and Corbaci Peppers. My 1st year growing hot peppers and it has been an amazing experience. I live in coastal SC and have been using 35% shade cloth over my garden. Grown in fabric pots. All from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Great results. I started them indoors in Feb and it took a while then all the sudden they exploded
What are you favorite peppers?
Such a great video! Thanks for the great information.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed
I'm growing some Nadapeños this year - first time trying to grow a chili variety that won't burn holes in the roof of my mouth. Can't wait to taste them. 😁
Great verities, thanks for the info
Thanks for the info. Will definitely venture out next year. Last season and this year I'm establishing my household staples: jalapeños, poblano, cali wonder, serrano and chiltepin.
Those are all great peppers. Delicious and highly useful. Superhots are fun but they can be a bit intense to use on the daily 😂
A classic. Even text-book information!
Thanks for the lesson!
Numex Suave Orange has a distinctive chinense-type or Habanero flavor, but surprisingly almost no heat. Attractive plants. Made a unique and tasty salsa with them, inspired by the many Habanero sauce recipes out there.
Brilliant this mate
I grew Brazilian starfish peppers last year and loved them so much I'm growing them again. They grew much teller than every other pepper I've planted so I plan to trellis them in a tomato cage-type thing this year. I also grew some aji chinchi amarillos that looked like the aji lemons you showed but a little smaller/orangier and about as spicy as a super market habanero.
I also grew them last year for the first time, my first major foray into C. Baccatum. They need an extra month up front to get rolling but make up for it in productivity and a nice fruity taste. For me, a lot of the C. Baccatum varieties ended up 4-6' tall, but a Jasmyn Rissie (also C. Baccatum) was about 8' tall when it finally got too cold to keep it growing.
Love your videos!!
Thank you again for this great info.
Here in Argentina it's fairly common the "quitucho", it used to be classified as Capsicum microcarpum but I think it's now under Capsicum baccatum.
It's great if you like pure heat.
I'm a rookie pepper grower in New Jersey. This year my Bell Peppers, Jalepeno, and Hot Banana Peppers are all doing well and producing nicely. Next summer I want to branch out to more interesting varieties. However, I don't like too much heat. About 8,000 Scoville is all I can take in one sitting.
That Lesya pepper you show is awesome looking! I'm gonna try to hunt that one down. Thanks for sharing all your great info!
Thanks for watching, glad you are getting into it, peppers are so fun to grow :)
I'm from Bolivia living in the Galilee.
Many thanks for you very instructive videos😃
Cheers, you’re from the epicenter!!
Been growing peppers for 5 years now, '21 is my 6th, and I've really learned a lot from your channel. I recently discovered it and have enjoyed every video, thank you!
I'm very interested in your indoor growing conditions especially..
Some very nice looking peppers. I'm growing Birdseye peppers in the UK which are doing great. I love the look of that orange striped variety.
Same, still waiting for them to ripen for us..can't wait to taste them!
Great informative video! In the last year, I've gotten really into gardening, and two of my favorite types of plants are peppers and tomatoes. Some varieties of peppers I'm going to try growing this year are Buena Mulata, Sugar Rush Peach, Shishito, Tibetan Lhasa and Brazilian Starfish!
Sounds great! Can't wait to see how our Yellow Brazilian Starfish turns out this year.
This season I purchased 2 small seedlings of Shishito (sweet) peppers to try them out .(PA) season was late this year so i kept them inside and when plants reached its 3rd full set of leaves i topped them. When i was able to plant in garden they went dormant for about a week then boom they took off and never looked back. Very prolific... plants are approx. 30" tall, bushy, and i have more than i can handle.... awesome performers!!
Been waiting for someone to do a video like this! Thank you for the great content
Just amazing to see so many of these options. I’m growing 15 different varieties this year and just wish I could be doing another 15 plus.
Thank you for your good work, its very inspiring!
Thanks for shareing
Thank you
Very nice video keep them coming
Thanks, will do!
Greetings from France.1st time Iwqatched this program,excellent.Iam a keen gardener on a small scale,and like to grow tomatoes and chillies.IN 2002 Ibought some chilli seeds in Singapore and forgot about them.This year Iplanted some of the seeds ,and one plant survived(the summer weather has been bad here )and had about 20 red hot chillies.Next year Iwill try different one,if Ican get the seeds.
'Cabai burung ungu' is pronounced 'cha-bye boo-roong oong-goo'. Cabai is chile pepper, burung is 'bird' so bird chiles and ungu is the color purple, so purple bird chiles. Just discovered your channel and it couldn't come at a better time 'cause I just started growing my first pepper plants.
Thanks for sharing! That makes a lot of sense, given the appearance of the pepper. Good luck with your first pepper plants, we're here to help :)
Wow, what an interesting set of peppers. I might try one of these in the future. For now I'm growing my first set of home grown peppers, Anaheim peppers and Cayenne peppers to try the milder side of the whole spectrum before kicking it up a notch.
Those are great varieties, super useful and not overwhelmingly spicy
Like your video's, very informative. .
Just subbed your channel. Great info!
Hey, what a well thought out video! My poblano plant is nearly 6’ tall. Peppers are so fun to grow.
Wow! This must look amazing - never had a poblano grow that large.
@@PepperGeek Until this year, neither have I. Grew it on a 2 year old hugelkulture bed. I was very surprised...I didn’t pan for this size, so it has silly, Frankenstein trellisx5, lol. So, not too great a sight to behold.
Love this
Thank you. I have learnt something new.
Glad it was helpful!
Very informative, thank you. 🌶❗️
7 Pot JPN, one of my favorite peppers to grow.
Wow, that variety looks amazing! The black foliage/peppers are the coolest plants.
I’m from Florida. Every year I group pepper. One problem I had is. White bugs on the leaf under. I trying all different ideas but not working. I love pepper. Love your channel. Thank you for share with us.
Very informative
One of my favorite is the Trinidad Scorpion Moruga ... this one has a outstanding flavor for his hotness ....
You have a great channel!
Thanks!
When pronouncing the 'aji' pepper, the stress is on the 'i'. 'Aji' means chili.
The most popular variety in Peru is 'Aji armarillo' which means , 'yellow chili'. They are favoured for their many culinary uses.
Pimiento is used for sweet peppers and Pimienta is black pepper corns for spicy pepper, like pimienta negra and pimienta blanca, black and white pepper used on the table..
Thanks for sharing
Really great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I've been a pepper lover all of my life . Nobody in my family could figure me out . A couple of years ago I learned of general two's chicken at work on a Friday . I immediately fell in love . What peppers are used for this ?
Your videos truly inspire me to do something , either grow them or purchase them already grown . Thanks
We understand you! Spicy peppers are awesome. As for general tsos, not sure what kind of pepper, but many chinese restaurants frequently use the Tienjin peppers, or Chinese Red peppers. Thai chiles are also great for cooking. Hope this helps.
Hi from Austria! In Eastern Austria in the Area around Vienna Tomatoes are called Paradeiser. Fruchtig means Fruity. So it makes sense that those look like Tomatoes :-)
Awesome, thanks for sharing that. Would love to visit your beautiful country some day!
I typically grow dozens of kinds of peppers each year. One of the most exciting things for me is when a pepper plant turns out to produce something you don't expect. One of these is an accidental Tabasco Habanero cross (Tabanero; Frutescens x Chinense) with a lot of unique characteristics -- juicy, sweet, kinda hot, practically picks itself when ripe, small seeds so you can eat them directly if you can take some heat. The other was supposed to be a Fish pepper but looks more like an Anaheim (either way, C. Annuum) -- I call it "Chisel" because of the shape. Like the Tabanero it tastes good and is spicy at all stages of development, turns red early. Small bush, very productive even in cool weather. Of course, seed saving is crucial to taking advantage of special crosses, fortunately if you already grown from seed, seed saving is easier in peppers than almost anything else.
Awesome, yeah I enjoy getting the odd unintentional cross as well. Amazing plants!
How have I just found your channel? Can you be my next door neighbor, please?
Well, we’re moving soon, maybe we’ll end up neighbors and we can share a basket of peppers in the fall 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏼♀️🏡
Done!
Fr I'll move in next door
I'll supply my salsa recipe and the chips! I've got the best recipe! 👌
Shut up or I come find you
Great informative video!
Thank you!
great content!
Thank you!
I'm trying Shishito peppers this year. I'll be interested in how they taste. Thanks!
The aji limon pepper sounds good. I like the look and it sounds like it'd taste good.
Cayenne Peppers are probably one of the most enduring peppers I've ever grown. Last year Spider Mites destroyed 14 of my babies aka Cayenne, Ghost, Reapers, Piquins, and Serrano's. I was not happy. Yet if they hit this year in South Texas combo of soap and rubbing alcohol should take care of the problem.
Rubbing alcohol?! That sounds like it might harm the pepper plants..
@@PepperGeek When it comes to spider mites I'd rather harm the plant a little than lose the entire thing. All that Meme Oil did was make the plant smell like Garlic. I really wished it worked. I applied it in the early morning and after sun down and it was not effective.
One pepper you didn't mention is the Texas Chiltepin. It's in the annuum family. Bird love them, so they usually show up at edges of fences as a result. I have one I planted doing well in Texas heat. You can pick them red and use right away or dry them and crush them on food.
Thanks for sharing! All the bird-type peppers are great for powder or stir fry
I love peppers
I'll be growing Sugar Rush Striped for the first time also. Hopefully I'll be able to compare mine to yours.
Awesome! I’m hoping we can get ripe pods before the end of our season here
One other note -- there are at least 2 zero heat cultivars of Capsicum Baccatum: Aji Delight and Mad Hatter. I prefer Aji Delight, which is a similar sweet fruity taste, size, and crunch to Sugar Rush but without any heat and with straight flattened or triangular pods.
Team chinense!
Can't beat the burn...
I'm growing an aji ahuachapan that is a battacum type, this year.. had a few pods from a good friend and the chillies are warm but very very tasty. Cant wait to see how that turns out. Its a 6 weeks old atm and the genetics are showing now.. very large boots for this plant are needed.
We got some of those seeds from Fatalii and are growing 1 plant this year as well. Looking forward to tasting them. What are 'boots'?
Nice video really great content 😊🙏🌶🔥
And i have about 1000 varieties of diffrent chili seeds at my home. And many rare varieties also
Very cool - do you sell them?
Great! explanation.Thank you.As the aji charapita being a wild Capsicum chinense,can you say he is the father of all other domesticated Capsicum chinense cultivars?
Chocolate douglah is wonderful.
The pepper at 00:20 looks like it got a cheery little sorting hat on
I was hoping you’d mention the “Habanada” pepper, now I know it’s of the species C. chinense, just like my “Trinidad Scorpion”, but without any heat! I have rooted some cuttings of the “Habanada”, for Xmas presents, since it’s such a productive, delicious variety, without any heat.
Funfact: The name "Paradeisfrüchtiger" just implies that the fruit ("Frucht" in german) of this pepper is similar to a tomato (called "Paradeiser" in Austria).
Thanks for that info! Definitely makes sense in that pepper’s case
In croatia we call tomato "paradajz"
@@PepperGeek how do I get some of those seeds from the galapagos? Hope I spelled that right lll
I could read facts like these all day. 😄👍
I was guessing the translation as paradise fruit tiger, different languages have different grammar, could mean tiger-fruit of paradise?
I have developed new peppers from some that you mentioned.
9:39 - if you asked me what plant that was, I would say 'potato' for sure. No doubt about it. Crazy.
Caught this JUST in time. The Chile Pepper Institute is having their plant sale tomorrow! I love the unique taste of habañero but can't eat them. I'll see if they have one of those orange ones.
Lesya creator also released "Orange Lesya" variation this year so probably you will see it in US in a year or two. Paradeisfruchtiger is most likely one of those distinctive "Gogoscharii"- or "Gogosar"-type peppers that originated in Romania and popular in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
Baccatum peppers, I cannot recommend enough Aji Cristal (really tasty especially while still at greenish technical stage), Peruviano Arancio (again taste is great, heat is high too), Aji Melocoton. Lemon Drop is nice, prolific and sturdy, but one plant is pretty much enough for consumption due to specific taste IMO.
Thanks for all of this - will have to look into that Aji Cristal, I like the sound of a tasty pod that can be harvested early.
