Hot Pepper Seeds Peter Pepper Red (Capsicum annuum)

Peter Pepper Red, famously known for its humorous and unique appearance, is a rare and highly sought-after chili pepper variety. Originating in the southern United States, this pepper has gained recognition not only for its novelty but also for its excellent culinary uses and medium heat level. It is a favorite among collectors and gardeners looking to add something truly distinctive to their gardens.

Peter Pepper Red plants are robust and productive, reaching a height of 60–90 cm. The peppers are medium-sized, growing to about 8–12 cm in length, with a wrinkled, curved shape that has earned them their quirky reputation. The fruits mature from green to a vibrant red and are relatively thick-walled. With a heat level of 10,000–23,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), they offer a balanced spice level that enhances a wide variety of dishes. The plant thrives in warm climates and produces abundantly throughout the growing season.

In terms of flavor, Peter Pepper Red is slightly sweet with earthy undertones, making it suitable for salsas, hot sauces, pickling, or adding a spicy kick to cooked dishes. Its thick walls and robust texture make it ideal for stuffing or grilling. Additionally, its unique shape makes it a conversation piece in the kitchen or at the dinner table.

Cultivation Recommendations:
• Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Maintain a consistent temperature of 26–30°C for optimal germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors once the soil temperature is consistently above 20°C, ensuring full sunlight. Space plants 45–60 cm apart with rows 60–90 cm apart.
• Use well-draining, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0, and water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist without waterlogging.
• Apply a balanced fertilizer during the vegetative stage and transition to a phosphorus-rich formula during flowering and fruiting.
• Harvest peppers when they are fully red and firm to the touch for the best flavor and heat.

This variety is perfect for gardeners seeking a fun, eye-catching plant that also serves practical culinary purposes. Its unique fruits add a whimsical touch to any garden while delivering excellent flavor and spice.
