Seeds Per Pack: 25
Description
What’s the point of eating a hot pepper that doesn’t taste any good? These little orange creatures pack a serious punch without sacrificing flavor. 2”-3” peppers grow prolifically, turning from green to burnt yellow to a bright orange color. I once counted over 150 peppers on one plant at a time. Get ready to make hot sauce or dry a bunch in your window.
