Pepper Seeds - Tabasco
Tabasco pepper seeds grow into the iconic variety behind the world-renowned hot sauce, delivering consistent 2,500–5,000 Scoville units with bright, vinegary heat. Germination occurs within 7–14 days at 75–85°F, followed by flowering at 70–80 days post-transplant. Plants reach full productivity in 120–150 days, producing slender red peppers that ripen from green to deep crimson. These compact, ornamental plants thrive in warm climates with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Tabasco peppers are ideal for sauce-making, fermentation, and culinary applications requiring balanced heat and tangy flavor. Perfect for growers seeking a legendary variety with proven commercial appeal and reliable yields.
