This medium hot to hot pepper matures from yellow to orange to red. This plant matures early and will keep producing until frost. These seeds are desert adapted. The seeds were collected from Eris Wenk in Albuquerque’s South Valley. Fruits are 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide. The heat from this pepper is unique as it hits all at once and dissipates quickly, similar to a bee sting. It’s an interesting sensation!

Planting/Harvesting Notes

• 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.
