Grow your own spice with a live Black Pepper Vine (Piper nigrum), the tropical climbing plant that produces the peppercorns we know as black pepper. This beautiful self-fertile vine thrives in warm, humid conditions and, once mature, will produce clusters of green berries. Harvest them when they begin to turn red, then dry the berries until they wrinkle and darken—transforming them into the aromatic black peppercorns you grind fresh in the kitchen. Perfect for gardeners who love unique edible plants, this pepper vine can be trained on a trellis or grown in a container and brought indoors in cooler climates, giving you a rewarding way to grow and harvest one of the world’s most popular spices right at home.
How long will it take to start harvesting? Approximately 1-3 years if grown in ideal conditions. Once the vines start flowering, it takes 9 months to be able to harvest the pepper berries.

Orders are shipped in 1-3 business days excluding holidays or delays due to natural disasters like hurricanes.
Seeds are shipped in bubble mailers so they will not be pushed through USPS roller machines which can damage the seeds. I will not ship seeds in an envelope for this reason.
Seeds will be shipped with no planting instructions to keep seed costs low to the buyer. Germination and plant care information is included in the description. I encourage each gardener to research specifics on how to be successful growing them. I also have lots of information on my TikTok, Instagram and YouTube channel all under the account name jerrasgarden. I started this shop to share my love of certain seed varieties and spread the knowledge of gardening. Please contact me if you can't find information or have additional questions.
Orders with live plants are packed on Mondays and Thursdays (excluding holidays or delays because of natural disasters. Plants are shipped in boxes with packaging material to protect them while they are in transit.
No returns or refunds once shipped. I am not responsible for lost or damaged packages caused by USPS. Since there are so many factors that affect germination and growing success, no refunds or exchanges are allowed once seeds have shipped. These are the same seeds I use in my personal garden so I can attest to their viability. Seeds are fresh season to season.
