Beginner Favorites

Starting your first pepper garden? Begin with this focused selection of productive, versatile varieties, chosen to make picking your seeds easier.

Prefer sweet or gentle flavors? Start with Jimmy Nardello, Habanada, or Mad Hatter. Want some heat? Try Farmers Jalapeño, Serrano, or Cayenne. Beginner-friendly refers to growing, not heat level.

Pick two or three varieties to learn what you enjoy growing and eating. Give seedlings warmth and good light, and use our Growing Information guide for help getting started. These listings are for seed packets.
