Super fast shipping, great packaging. I have not planted any seeds yet, so I can not discuss the germination rate. Received more seeds than ordered.
Will shop here again when needed.
Thank you,

I’m thinking the Serrano peppers will be my “go to” pepper for many spicy dishes I enjoy cooking. And to freeze some as well to thaw at a later time to place on various sandwiches.
