A striped snacking pepper that interweaves vibrant flavors, colors, and legacies across Capsicum history. This heatless striped pepper from Cornell University breeders Lauren Brzozowski, Emily Rodekohr and Michael Mazourek represents the fruit of seeds passed between breeders and seed keepers over time. In their search for a snacking pepper high in anthocyanins and flavor, Lauren, Emily and Michael sought to marry qualities from several varieties: Fish pepper, an heirloom treasured for its variegation, and for its deep roots with black farmers and cooks in the Mid-Atlantic; Czech Black, a nod to Michael’s ancestry, with a deep garnet-purple color and lingering sweetness concealed behind its fiery heat; Lipstick, a delicious snacking pepper popular for its broad adaptation; and Corno di Toro, with its tapered “horn of the bull” shape. Juicy and crisp, with notes of green apple, citrus and caramel. Stripes are a guide to optimal harvest; pick regularly when stripes are visible on an orange to red background. Variegated leaves stand out in the rows. 65 days to maturity from transplant. Text and photo courtesy of Row 7. Care: Plant 18-24″ apart in rows 24-30″ apart in full sun. Keep soil uniformly moist (but not waterlogged) for best production.
