Small peppers with a big attitude! This delicious, hot, zesty pepper is also a festive ornamental for the patio, container, or border! Like tiny Christmas-tree lights, the 1” fruits of bright red and green poke out all over mounded 18-inch plants. These small peppers really pack a wallop - 50,000 to 100,000 Scovilles of heat! You won’t believe how many peppers each plant produces, and they can easily be dried for use all year long. Non-Isolated.
SHU: 50,000 - 100,000
