David's Garden Seeds is a Veteran owned business that has been providing quality seeds since 2009. This is a slow growing plant. You may not have any peppers in the first year. SPECIAL NOTE: From VP of Sales when I asked him about others selling on Amazon for a lot less: "Hello Mr. Schulze, We are aware of others selling the Reaper, which is why we are not releasing the seeds of the new hotter one we developed, which is hotter than the Reaper. However, those seeds are cut and are not pure. We cannot bring our price down from what we have offered, due to the 100% purity we hold in high regard. The plants are slow growing and patience is the virtue, which needs to be practiced the most with this pepper. Sincerely, Herb" Let us say this again--it is a slow germinating seed--can take up to four-six-eight weeks. It is a slow growing plant. Can take up to two years to get the first peppers Another Special Note: A lot of people are complaining about these not growing. We planted ten and got seven plants. Not sure why they are having such a hard time unless they are not being patient.
