Description:
Bubblegum Peppers may be one of the coolest 7 Pot varieties! Also known as the Bleeding Bubblegum or BBG7, this pepper gets is named after its "bleeding stem," or the color of the pepper bleeding over into the stem. This is crossed between a red Moruga Scorpion and Trinidad Yellow 7 Pot, so you'll expect to have some serious pepper heat!
These pepper plants will grow up to be about 3 ft. tall and produce plenty of these bright red pepper pods. Bubblegum peppers are tiny, 2" pods with shiny smooth skin and bright red, an almost pinkish color that looks like the 1-cent Bubblegum from back in the day. This beautiful color bleeds over into the stem, due to the oversized calyx of the pepper turning colors when the peppers are left on the plant for too long. This is still being bred out for stability, so expect to have a little variation in your plants. But doesn't that make it all the more fun to grow?
This pepper may look like bubblegum, but would you believe it if it smelled or even tasted like it too? That's what you can expect with this pepper, along with fruity, citrusy, and floral tones. Just like its 7 Pot counterparts, it has exceptional heat, so be prepared to set your mouth on fire! Use the Bubblegum pepper for cooking or drying into fruity pepper powder or pepper flakes.
