Notes | Did you know there was a yellow variant of the infamous Red Peter Pepper? Well, surprise! Born out of Eastern Tennessee, this close kinfolk to the original strain is a milder variant with a rare coloration that makes this eye-catching variety even more so thanks to its vibrant mature color! The Yellow Peter pepper plant grows up to 4 ft. tall, growing well in gardens or in containers. These plants have good production for these uniquely-shaped pods that ripen from green to bright yellow at maturity. This 'brother' produces many realistically shaped pods. However, as in any pepper, pod shapes do vary. Yellow Peters have a milder, mellow flavor and are not quite as spicy compared to the original. Nevertheless, they still are tasty! Try using this exotic pepper variety fresh or in cooked meals! Species: Capsicum Annuum Heat Level: 5,000–30,000 SHUs Type: Mild to Medium Hot Origin: USA Pod Size: 3-6" Plant Height: 3-4 ft. Days to Harvest: 90+ Days |
