Only $678.85 for 5,000,000 seeds.

The google only has the one result for Red Lava Habaneros, but they're not real Habaneros?

Check out this other result. Click on the main page to see an odd number of hot pepper product listings for up to thousands of dollars, while the site itself appears non-professional af.

My usual supplier of Carolina Reaper powder is out of stock atm, so this interests me, but the site seems sketchy.

I wouldn't trust it one bit.

They are real habaneros, just not one of the basic (yellow, orange) types. The Red Savina came about as a mutation/cultivar and so did the Red Lava. People cross types all the time to create new ones.

If I didn't value my privacy a whole lot, I'd offer to mail you some Red Lava seeds. But I do. Sigh.

You have seeds? You would only compromise your privacy if I sent you seeds. Put a fake return address on the envelope and send me some! I'll send you a PM if that keeps enough of your privacy.

Starting them asap would probably get a yield by fall. I just have a problem with a very tall redwood that the sun starts dropping behind in a few months. But they overwinter here just fine.

Almost all the seeds I put in wet paper towel have popped, and am transferring to dirt tomorrow.

Red Lava Habaneros

Do you have a source or more info on those? The google isn't coming up with anything except that sketchy site.

Seeds I sent to Middle_Path for the 2019 seed exchange on voat, in the v/JustGrowIt sub. Then uniformed government agents came to all of our houses.

Those "asian hot peppers" turned out to be the Goat Weed pepper, which would have been a hit on voat if I had known.

All I know is what I got from growing them: they are easy, like most Habs, they are smaller than normal habs, they are big producers, better than orange habs.
