This pepper has a sweet medium heat, a little bit hotter than a jalapeno. The pods should ripen to a beautiful peach color. The plant is compact with low lying branches. It is well suited to growing in a half gallon container or larger. Seeds were originally acquired from Forgotten Heirlooms.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
- Plant after all danger of frost has passed
- Plant in full sun and well draining soil
- Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart
Seed Saving
To save seed, allow the pepper to turn red on the plant, then harvest, cut the pepper, scrape out the seeds and dry on a flat surface such as a screen, paper plate or baking sheet. Allow to dry for 1-2 weeks and then store in a paper envelope.
