ChilliChump Seeds Reviews

Guy Middleton · November 3, 2024

The Malawian Piquante was the rockstar of the pepper garden this year. I used the pickling recipe from Chili Chump and they are amazing.

I am sorry, but I have a qoestion.
Can I order seeds to Latvia? And how many seeds are in one package?
I really need to order seeds for next season.

One very prolific chilli. I bought these from Chillichump last year and had a bumber crop. The best way to use them was to sweet pickle them. I didn't get to try many as my wife loved them. I only planted 5 seeds, but all germinated. Thanks.

The first of my seeds to germinate this season. Only four days! Quality seeds and service as always. Looking forward to growing this variety.

Hands down the best jalapeño cultivar I’ve grown. Loads of flavor, nice large pods, and perfect jalapeño heat. No more substituting Serranos to get some heat out of my Salsas. I got a later than normal start on all my chilies due to the unusual cold Southern California spring, but my CC Jalapeños produced early and are still producing here in October. Highly recommend you give these a try!

This is the first year to try the Turkish Flower peppers out. My wife wanted some peppers that she could enjoy so I added this one and others to our repertoire. The germination rate is 100%. Plants are about a month young and all are looking strong.

Ok…
Let’s talk about it!

Jalapeño always been a problem to me, lot of edema growing them indoor in a grow tent. Well that’s not the case with the CC Jalapeño. Healthiest and biggest growing plant in my grow tent. Chillichump made the best on this one and you will see the big difference. I’ve shared the seeds with a friend and he’s having the same experience. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s a game changer!

Good germination rate and they're healthy little plants. Lets just see if I can handle the heat come harvest time!

These were the first chilli seeds to germinate (5 to 8 days and 100% germination rate)! Excellent!

I live in California, USA. I purchased four varieties of peppers from Shaun. Happy to report 100% germination which is impressive as I dont get that high percentage even with domestic seeds.

Pacific Gardening · December 29, 2024 · Verified owner

Easily one of the best chili peppers you can grow. Massive plant, super productive, and perfect for pickling.

ASHLEY PONT · January 17, 2023 · Verified owner

Very fast deliver and very good packaging. I look forward to planting these and will review them after germination and harvest.

Pacific Gardening · December 29, 2024

Hyper-productive and healthy plant with hundreds, if not thousands, of mid-sized bullet-shaped pods. Great addition to the garden.

Was very excited to receive these. I had 100% germination and then followed all the instructions on chillichumps channel to sow and grow…. I then read a lot of people got barely any fruits or stripes on their fruit (they got their seeds from other sources) my plant is now 5’ tall with tonnes of fruit, so far each and every fruit that’s ripened has their pretty red stripes and lovely peach colour skins… lovely taste without too much heat 10/10

I had great success last season with CC's Big Mustard Mamma so I thought I would try another "Super Hot" variety. I have 8 very healthy young plants started. I'm so looking forward to trying these monsters out this summer. Germination rate for these seed was 100%. I'm very very pleased with each and every variety of seeds from CC this year as in the past.

Simon Hughes · August 9, 2025 · Verified owner

Grown these 2 years on the run from the same seed. You can tell the seeds are fresh as soon as you look at them and every single one germinated this year and last. Super productive, big chilli’s and a decent spice. I’ve always issues with jalepenos but these are great.

Bart. · January 7, 2025 · Verified owner

Bought seeds last year as mine weren't viable (regular Fushimi). Around 90% sprouted quickly, the remaining 10% appeared later.

The reactions to it were: "looks kinda weird" or "what happened to that pepper?". Of course there was nothing wrong, plants were healthy, with strong variegation. I grew them in "Quad-grow" system in my cool greenhouse over the cloudy season of 2024 in Northern Ireland. One plant was transplanted to a regular 10L pot. Those in Quad-grow system grew much better. Overall, I managed to get 4 harvests in the course of the season.

These peppers ale stunning, grow vigorously, and it's a striped Fushimi, what's not to love. Would have bought again but still have few seeds left, instead I decided to write a quick review.

Stephen Green · March 22, 2024 · Verified owner

100% germinations rate, 2 weeks in and all are growing strong, these were the first to germinate! 7 seedlings are tall and strong, 3 have slightly withered cotyledons, and 2 are very stunted. I only need 6 for my greenhouse so will be taking the strongest. (received 12 rather than 10). I'm looking forward to using these in my cooking.

Update .... Fantastic plants 4-4.5 feet tall loaded with fruit. Remarkable plants love them. Only one problem I didn't expect them to grow so big and bushy they could have done with a bit more room but all's great so far. But I will have to make space soon.

Excellent quality seeds as usual, germinated into and grown on to become excellent quality plants. Shaun never ceases to provide anything less than excellent with everything he puts out into the open, whether that be hot sauces, seeds, books and or even YouTube video's!

I was lucky to get these last year. Germination was high. I have had quite a few chilli's a lot of which are fermenting currently. I did try one, though i cannot comment on the taste as i was in pain from the heat. Looking forward to the sauce I will make.

Fantastic seeds. Grew an 8’ plant with them in a 25 gallon pot on my patio and another monster in a raised bed in my community garden. Tons of fun to grow and excellent in both sauces and powder. Highly, highly recommend growing these.

Well this is my first year ordering from chillichump but I must say I am impressed. Delivery was fantastic I think I had my seeds 2 days after ordering which ofcourse allowed me to crack on with planting!. Germination rate was 100% and being a bit of a laxy grower I do none of the fancy tricks just water and heat so such a high rate was impressive. The initial germination was so good it actually encouraged me to buy a better grow light and the plants are looking fantastic looking forward to sampling the pods!

Cindy Castle · October 15, 2023 · Verified owner

Lovely jalapeños… some really big pods too, with a good amount of heat. Each plant carried a good quantity of pods. Would definitely buy again.

100% germination and my only regret is that I didn't start more plants. I live in Alaska. My two plants did very well in the greenhouse and I have one outside loaded with flower buds. I am going to try to overwinter one. It is a beautiful and productive plant! Thank you.

wardy89 · December 29, 2024

One of my all time favourites, even in a bad year this variety always seems to deliver. They taste great, think cayenne but hotter. Fast germination, very healthy plants absolutely loaded with good sized chillis. I find they start fruiting quite early and will continue producing right through the season.

Anita · March 24, 2025 · Verified owner

Ten seeds purchased 10 seeds germinated no problem. Lovely strong healthy seedlings. I will
only buy my chilli seeds from chilli chump in the future. Not fruited as yet but I've grown chillies for a number of years and this is my best result for germination so far. I am looking forward to tasting these chillies and adding them to my homemade Kimchi. So thank you chilli chump for some great seeds. ( Great YouTube tips for growing too)

My Malawian Piquante seeds always achieve 100% germination. This winter I tried an experiment by growing one indoors over LED grow lights, and it was quite the success. It was eventually potted on to a 1.5 gallon nursery pot and produced two harvests before spring. I was able to use ChilliChump's recipe to make two pints of delicious pickled peppadews that were quickly devoured. I have several younger plants that I am excited to plant outdoors this season. These will probably be on my "every year" list of chillies to grow.

I'm so impressed with these Chillis after buying them here, along with the Moz Piri Piri seeds (Also excellent and another review left). They have been extremely prolific and I had 100% germination. It was so good I ended up giving several plants away to friends and family. The plants I kept grew strongly and the yield of distinctive stripey fruit was absolutely first class. This is a fantastic chilli but the quality of the Chillichump seeds is quite evidently second to none.

Jim the "Pizza Man" · March 4, 2025 · Verified owner

This is the first year to try these mild peppers out. My wife wanted some peppers that she could enjoy. The germination rate is fantastic. Plants are about a month young and all are looking strong.

Jalapenos are probably my favorite pepper to munch on..... First time trying out this variety after reading the positive comments. I'm impressed with their germination rate of 100%... much like most of the seed varieties that I have gotten from ChileChump. Looking forward to enjoying them this summer along with some great BBQ. I like to cut the tops off, stuff them with a spicy cheese.... wrap them in an egg roll wrapper and deep fry them for a "Spicy Egg roll".

The plants grew strongly and were extremely prolific. Excellent quality fresh seed, superb plants with lots and lots of fruit. I'll definitely grow these again. Thanks Shaun for the quality of the seeds you are producing!

Steve · April 26, 2024 · Verified owner

100% germination, 6 weeks since germination and already potted up and at 6 inches
However, the leaves are lighter coloured than other varieties and appear to be more delicate. The leaves are curling over due to what I believe to be too much light. They have been treated the same as other varieties but are more delicate.

Doug · January 8, 2022 · Verified owner

I grew these last year - 10 out of 10 seeds germinated... transplanted all 10 plants into the ground and they thrived - tremendous production - they reached around 4-5 feet high. Good heat but not overwhelming, nice sweet flavor - perfect for mild to medium level sauce making if not adding any other peppers. Dried out they make a great crushed red pepper. I ground the pepper mash into powder and it has a lot of kick. Very versatile... perhaps the perfect pepper?

Florian Hauch · April 2, 2026

I breeded this variety.
It's origin is really 50% sweet bell pepper and 50% Bhut Jolokia. I did the cross in 2007 as a hobby project.
I selected 11 years for size, thick flesh an medium heat until it was stable and so it got a mostly Anuum phenotype and sadly lost a lot of Chinese characteristics.
Thanks for sharing my variety with the community!

This is such a fun pepper to grow!
A beautifully shaped, hairy plant, with lovely bright yellow pods. A heavy producer. The pods are fragrant and tasty. They have a citrussy flavor, but maybe I was slightly biased because of the name and bright yellow colour. I really enjoyed growing this pepper, and would definitely recommend others to give this one a go!

I grew the CC Hab Fire in zone 4 in 2024. I started seeds indoors mid January and this cultivar was one of my strongest plants in spring before final pot up, and started getting nice red ripe pods in August with at least three flushes before September frost. One of my best producing pepper plants of about 40 chinense variety. Thanks for the super seeds Shaun!

Easy to grow, and very productive! I planted only 1 seed, and it sprouted very quickly. Pods have a good size with a lot of meat (for this kind of pepper), and are very tasty/fruity. I really like them for cooking. They have a good heat, but not too much. Perfect to spice up almost every meal. They are especially good as a dried spice. This is definately a must have in the garden.

An amazing Piri Piri variety. Very productive, even under less then ideal circumstances. The pods grow significantly larger than an average Bird's Eye and have a great flavor; fruity and slightly smoky. Ideal chili for any home grower.
