I have about 20 of them I lost maybe 3 to disease. some are good and some not so good. I take the peat pots off but most came in plastic. good thing for me is they didn't have to really be hardened off

Are Bonnie Plants Crap Or What?

I've currently got 3 orange habs and 3 ghosts in the raised bed out back. All bonnie from Lowes. All are doing really well and producing even in the hundred degree heat we are having in SoCal. I tried a green ghost last night and WOW! I think I'm going to make a green ghost pepper sauce and call it Slimer...

Again this year, great success so far!

I've had mixed results with Bonnie plants (Jalapenos) up here in NH. Some did well, some never sent their roots much past the "peat" pot even though I followed the directions. I went with unlabeled seedlings from the garden store this year. I'm guessing that they more likely started locally? I did rescue one Bonnie plant this year (Havasu Pepper) from the hardware store in early July and it was in a plastic pot not peat. It's not doing great, but it is sending out buds. They have partnered with Miracle Grow as well this year. Dunno if that's gonna help them or not.
I'm going to stay away from them in the future due to the mixed results.

I still think Bonnie's Mucho Nacho is by far one of the best commercially available jalas ive ever grown. Good sized plants and lots of very nice size hot pepper.
Two Mucho Nacho bought at Lowes on the left vs 2 Biker Billy i started from seed on the right.

They actually recently finalized the purchase of a minority interest in Bonnie and are also purchasing hydroponics supply companies. Looking to the very near future, those and coming acquisitions and "partnerships" will, they hope, position themselves as the "go-to" vendor for your next legal cannibis grow.

The lawn-and-garden giant — helmed by a CEO who sees legal marijuana as a billion-dollar opportunity — shelled out $136 million for Gavita, a Dutch grow lighting and hardware company, and on Monday inked a deal to buy Arizona-based Botanicare, a plant nutrient and hydroponics products provider that notched about $40 million in sales, Scotts Miracle-Gro officials said Wednesday.

I had great growth & pretty good production last season.
Both my Mucho Nachos cranked out pods all the way into early October before it slowed way down. Plants got really big last year and i got more than i could eat fresh. I got loads of ripe ones too.
with me not having space indoors to start my own seedlings i have to rely on buying them from big box stores and they all carry bonnie plants. peppers, tomatoes and cukes and kale and more and i can`t recall any plant that died or didn`t produce. all pepper plants and the especially the cherry tomatoes really put out loads.
Same here-I buy a lot of Bonnie plants, but only the ones in plastic pots. I select for big plants, no flowers, and no pests. After that, put 'em in the ground and let 'em grow. The hot peppers they have sold me have ALWAYS outperformed anything else, but the bell pepper plants tend to underwhelm, even if they do grow well.
