Tomato growers supply has a large selection of pepper seeds.

Glad to see Midwest Chileheads on this list a few times. John's a great guy πŸ‘πŸ»

I've also had good experiences with Cross Country Nurseries (last year was supposed to be their last year of business, but it looks like they're going to be open this season too).

Received a TON of freebies from Justin at White Hot Peppers this year, and I'm really looking forward to those. (My first time ordering from him)

Semillas La Palma (in Spain) has a great reputation, and I also ordered from them this year. Seeds arrived quicker than expected too.

I placed an order over the weekend with Midwest Chileheads, received my seeds promptly, with a couple of extra packs thrown in as well. Now if the seeds perform as well as the service, I will be a regular customer. :)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Pepper Lover, yet. I think it's based out of Tennessee. I haven't shopped there (it's just popular, and has a large selection).

I like the unique assortment of native peppers at nativeseeds.com (same for their watermelons). Although I've shopped there a number of times, I haven't actually grown any of those peppers, yet, though (but I want to).

Victory Seeds is cool. They sell Neapolitan, which I like. Good prices.

I like Trade Winds Fruit, again. Good prices and selection. They carry a good percentage of my favorites. I've shopped there multiple times.

Baker Creek is awesome. I've shopped there loads of times. I like their pepper selection. Prices aren't bad, especially if you get free shipping.

Timeless-tomatoes sells peppers, too. I've shopped there loads of times (mostly for tomatoes, but I have purchased and grown some of the peppers there). Great prices. Free shipping.

Sand Hill Preservation is great. I think my Lipstick pepper came from them.

I usually just get a few peppers from each vendor (rather than all my peppers from one place).

Shule, I am not adding Pepper Lover's to the list yet due to the fact that you have not purchased from them. I want only vendors with a proven track record on this list. If somebody vouches for them, I will gladly include them on the list.

Pepper Lover used to have a stellar reputation. But I think something has changed.
I ordered from them last year and had a lack of germination on many and very slow to ship.
Go to thehotpepper.com and look up pepperlover in the vender vault. It seems others had similar experiences.

No worries. I wasn't requesting it. I was mostly hoping to spur other people on into saying stuff.

Another vote here for Trade Winds Fruit, which I have probably bought more seeds from in the last ten years or so than any other. Baker's Creek is another good one, but I haven't gotten any pepper seeds there for a while, but many other types - seedman and Southern Exposure are others I get many other seeds from. I haven't had to buy many pepper seeds for a long time, and I just get one or two in places I'm getting other seeds - just replacing some of the must grow varieties, when needed, and a few new ones here and there. The must grow list grows, and not much room for trials!
