NotesThe iconic Peter Pepper was given its name for its...well...unique shape. This novelty pepper has lived in infamy for quite some time, making people blush when they catch a glance at these pods. In fact, there have been countless other TV and Newspaper folks and Celebrities that have had the same astonished reaction.

Peter Pepper plants will shoot up to 3 ft. tall and produce loads of these 4-6" long average-sized peppers. As the name implies, this "guy" is shaped very realistically - so much so that it was judged as the "most pornographic pepper" by the Organic Gardening Magazine. This heirloom chili is absolutely the novelty of your garden.

Besides being a real conversation piece, let me tell you, this pepper is super tasty. It has a thick fleshy pod that is fairly hot with a unique spicy flavor. The pepper is rumored to be an aphrodisiac in South America. I don't know if that's true, but we all know the many health benefits of eating hot peppers. Loaded with Vitamins A and C, Peter is sure to become a favorite. Everybody needs to try to grow this Pepper...at least once.
