I picked up some Red Savina seeds in mid-February at a local (?) garden
center called Pike's (don't know how far their reach extends).  I believe
they are the same seeds (NK, but with different packaging) to which you are
referring, but I gave $1.49 for them.  I, too, have received Red Savina
seeds from several list members, but I am doing an experiment this year --
Red Savinas from four different sources, three plants of each.

Back to the subject at hand, I received approximately 20 seeds for my $1.49
and planted them three to a plug (nine total).  I got 100% germination from
these seeds, and the three seedlings that remain (I cut the others back) are
healthy and strong (similar to all other Red Savinas that I have started).

Will post again in a few months when I actually have ripe chiles.
