Not all seeds do, but many seeds from regions with cold winters require freezing in order to break their dormancy. This helps the seeds to germinate at the appropriate time. If seeds that fell in fall germinated immediately, they would face freezing winter temperatures which could damage or kill them. Seeds that germinate after freezing are more likely to grow in spring with lots of warm weather ahead of them.

Do red pepper seeds need to be frozen to grow?

Yes, if the seed was dried before being frozen it should grow just fine. As I understand it, trying to grow from a seed actually frozen in the pepper while the pepper was still fresh won't work. Storing seeds in the crisper drawer in your fridge is the best place to store seeds.


Will frozen seeds grow faster or slower than non-frozen seeds?

They won't grow at all when frozen. Some seeds need to suffer a cold spell before they germinate for example alpines, this does not mean they will grow faster it just means they will not germinate without the cold spell.

Will a desert grow plants quickly?

Some desert plants, primarily annuals, will grow quickly if sufficient rain is received. Seeds quickly germinate and the plant rapidly grows, produces flowers, then seeds and soon dies as the source of water disappears. The new seeds may remain dormant for years until another heavy rain brings them to life and the cycle starts all over.
