Non-GMO Open-Pollinated Charleston Hot Pepper Seeds

You've never tasted anything like the Charleston Hot! Developed by USDA scientists at the Charleston lab in 1993, this hot pepper has gained popularity along with its counterpart, the Carolina Cayenne. With thin walls and moderately hot, measuring around 5,000 to 15,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), this pepper is the perfect addition to your pepper garden! Growing in an array of colors, this beauty grows to 3" in length with a conical shape. Perfect enjoyed fresh, in hot sauce or cooked into your favorite meal for some extra heat!

We find Charleston Hot to be a vigorous and productive variety, well-suited for warm-season growing. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before your last frost, providing consistent warmth (70–85°F) for strong germination. Transplant outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures remain warm, spacing plants to allow for good airflow and healthy growth.

These peppers thrive in full sun and rich, well-draining soil, benefiting from regular watering and consistent feeding throughout the season. Plants grow upright and may benefit from light staking as fruit production increases. As fruits mature, they transition through a range of colors, with heat and flavor intensifying as they fully ripen.

Harvest can begin when peppers reach their desired size and color, whether picked earlier for milder heat or left to mature for a spicier kick. Frequent harvesting encourages continued production, making this a rewarding and abundant addition to the garden.

Gardener Tips

Seeds should be planted indoors and kept in a dome with a heated mat for 4-8 weeks. 

It is key that your new starts be hardened off.  This is a process that requires taking them outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are planted. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure. 

  • Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
  • One week minimum is recommended
  • Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
  • Keep an eye on them and constantly water them. Make sure they have not blown over. 
Keep in mind when processing ripe fruit, the seeds and pith are very hot and we always recommend using gloves when processing hot peppers.

Harvesting Tips

Charleston Hot peppers are ready to harvest around 75 to 80 days after transplanting, once they’ve reached full size and their color deepens from green to a rich, bright red. You can harvest them earlier for a slightly milder flavor or wait until they fully ripen for maximum heat and sweetness.

When harvesting, use clean, sharp garden shears or scissors to clip the peppers from the plant, leaving a short portion of the stem attached. This prevents tearing and keeps the plant healthy for continued production. Regular picking encourages the plant to produce more fruit throughout the season.

After harvesting, handle peppers gently to avoid bruising, and store them in a cool, dry place or the refrigerator. If you’d like to save seeds for next year, let a few peppers remain on the plant until they are fully mature and beginning to wrinkle. Remove the seeds, dry them thoroughly, and store them in a labeled paper envelope in a cool, dark place.

Good product, needs double hinges for versatility.
Size: 6 Panel, Color: Brown
Blocks out all the light, looks good, good color. Only con is that it is not double hinged so it is hard to position the extra panels because I bout 6 panels instead of the 4 I usually get. Good deal, very decent price with the free delivery. Very clean packaging, came in great shape, no smell or odor from the factory.

Very Pleased with Room Divider
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Brown
This room divider is even better than I expected. It's sturdy but is lightweight enough that I could get the box up a flight of stairs with no problem whatsoever. It folds and unfolds easily and is very easy to move. And there's no assembly required! It really is woven and is quite attractive. The main reason I chose this item was price (although I did like the way it looked) and I got more for my money than I thought I would.

Works well
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Coal Black
i bought this for 3 reasons. 1. Privacy when changing so I don't have to lock dog out of room. 2. In case MIL comes over and wants to snoop. She won't be able to see my bedroom. 3. A nice backdrop to use when taking photos of the clothing I make. This is perfect for me. My only "complaint" is that it is not the most sturdy thing. I have to finagle it in a way that keeps it from falling over. But for the price, it can't be beat!

Cheap and unstable
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
Although this has nothing to do with the product, it arrived a day later than previously stated. Making me have to create a makeshift room divider the day it was actually needed. When the product arrived it arrived in a box that showed no evidence of damage. Once opened, divider was found inside a plastic cover. Great protector for dust or scratching. The divider was fully assembled so there was nothing for me to do but remove it from packaging and use it where needed. After further inspection the divider was not only cheap and flimsy looking it was absolutely unstable. It would wobble and appears to have been assembled in a rush making some panels crooked. I noted significant damage to the bottom portion of some of the panels both front and back. It does not feel like an item worth the price. The color is as advertised and the product had no smell. The sizing was accurate.
