Details

Beautiful, spicy, and flavorful cayenne pepper that starts purple and then passes through salmon and orange on the way to turning a gorgeous red. The tall striking plants are laden with 4-5 inch fruits, which are tasty at all stages, but we prefer the added sweetness of the fully red fruit. Heat level is similar to cayenne and great for fresh use or drying. Perfect in the garden or in containers. Traces back to the early 20th century to Horace Pippin, an African American folk artist. Non-Isolated.
