These black pepper seeds were a fantastic find! Germination took a bit of patience (around 4 weeks), but the seedlings are now healthy and starting to vine. As a cooking enthusiast, having fresh peppercorns growing at home is a dream come true. The seeds arrived well-packed, and the discount made it even better. Can’t wait to harvest my own peppercorns!

Takes time, but worth it

The seeds took longer to sprout, but now the plants are healthy and adapting well indoors.
