Grow something truly unique with Sweet Chocolate Pepper Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. This striking heirloom Capsicum annuum variety produces deep mahogany-brown bell peppers with a rich, mild sweetness and crisp texture. Perfect for home gardeners seeking something both beautiful and dependable, these peppers add depth and color to fresh dishes, roasts, and preserved blends.
Compact, upright plants grow 24–30 inches tall, making them ideal for raised beds, patio containers, or traditional garden rows. Sweet Chocolate peppers mature earlier than most bell types—ready to harvest in 70–80 days from transplant—and deliver consistent yields across USDA zones 3–12. Their unique coloring and balanced flavor make them a standout addition to any pepper collection.

                What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

                How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
                  
                    Are your seeds treated?
                    
                  
                
                Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
                  
                    In what zones can I grow your seeds?
                    
                  
                
                In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
                  
                    What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
                    
                  
                
                What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

                Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
