A very rare, extremely productive, and stunning hot pepper, offered exclusively through Baker Creek! William Woys Weaver introduced us to this pepper from his grandfather’s collection. His grandfather received the pepper from African-American painter Horace Pippin in 1944. A chameleon-like pepper that undergoes color changes during ripening; from violet to pink, then orange changing to brown, and eventually to a deep red. The long, round pods reach 6 to 7 inches in length and undergo a unique flavor change as they ripen, with the reds being more sweet and meatier than the violet. The stunning plants also make wonderful potted specimens. 75-85 days. Photo and text courtesy of Baker Creek.
Care: Plant 18-24″ apart in rows 24-30″ apart in full sun. Keep soil uniformly moist (but not waterlogged) for best production.
