What this doesn't tell you is how hard these seeds are to grow. They come in a tiny zip lock bag, sent in an envelope with internet-printed instructions stapled to them that state the following:

.:. Recommended for expert level gardeners
.:. Must be constantly moist - never too dry, never too wet
.:. Seeds can take up to 130 days to germinate
.:. Must be kept in 80 - 90 degrees F for entire period

So, if you're able to meet all those criteria, have at it. Otherwise, don't spend the $12, it'll be a waste.

I bought from their site directly earlier this year. I’ve been growing bhuts for a few years now (usually from another distributor) but I was too late in getting them this year. I found Hirts who was out of the bhut plants but had what they described as a ‘Chocolate bhut jolokia’. They claim on their site it grows naturally in the Assam area (where bhuts originate). I kind of felt like it was a bit of a scam since I’ve never heard of a Chocoalate Bhut and figured it was likely a cross breed of a chocolate Habanero and a Bhut. Whelp, I got the plants (they were in very good condition) and grew them and much to my disappointment they’ve turned out to be just regular Chocolate Habanero plants.

I ordered the Bhut Jolokia plant from Hirts Gardens. I got the plant and it was ok and grew very well. But when the peppers started growing I noticed it wasn't the Bhut Jolokia it was a Habanero pepper.
The tag on the plant is for the Bhut Jolokia plant. I am very disappointed in this company.

I will order another Bhut Jolokia plant but not from Hirts Gardens since they can't keep their inventory correct.

I don't recomend buying from them since you don't know what they are going to send you. Rating: 1 / 5

I bought these seeds because I love chili so much. I heard about Buht Jolokia a lot and have a dream to plant myself.

I bought from Hirt’s company, but when I read reviews about this company…I felt regret. It sounded bad company.

I received my seeds today, and I’m happy…nice and good packet and came along with information too. I’ll give 5 stars when my seeds germinate… Thanks
