UNIQUE CREEK HOMESTEAD SEEDS: All of our seeds are grown right here on our Unique Creek Homestead and not sourced from elsewhere. All seeds are collected each growing season and are 1-year old or less, stored in air-tight Mason jars. Seeds are harvested and labeled for storage each season, one plant/seed type at a time so seeds do not get mixed by accident during the process! The seeds we use at the start of each growing season come from the exact same seeds we sell.

ABOUT THESE SEEDS: The Orion pepper is a super hot chili pepper that is a cross between the Fatalii Gourmet Jigsaw, Big Red Mama, and Yaki Blue Fawn peppers. It has a sweet and tangy flavor and a Scoville rating of around 1.5 million SHU.
Here are some more details about the Orion pepper:
Appearance: The Orion pepper plant has dark purple branches and veins, and the peppers start out green and ripen to dark purple, light brown, and finally a molten red. The pods are thick-walled and bumpy, and can look like gnarly-looking berries.
Size: The Orion pepper plant can grow up to 3 ft tall, and the pods are about 2 in long.
Uses: The Orion pepper can be used in hot sauce, salsa, or dry spice rubs, or dried into a chili powder.
Growing conditions: The Orion pepper can be grown in containers or in the ground, and performs well in both.
 
Sow seeds in flats or pots 8 to 10 weeks prior to the expected outdoor planting date. Sow them shallowly, around 1/4 inch deep. Hot peppers, and especially super-hot peppers, have a well-earned reputation for being finicky to germinate, but you can increase germination rates by providing bottom heat (highly suggested).
