Description:
A beautiful ornamental hybrid coming from Hungary, the Mexican Sunrise F1 is an AAS-award-winning pepper that brings a calming display of serene colors right to your garden.
These plants, which grow rapidly to a height of 2 ft. tall, are prolific producers of these conical-shaped peppers that grow to 6-7” in length and have incredibly thick walls. The colors are what amazes people: watch as these peppers start green, then change to yellow, then to orange, and finally to sunset red as they reach maturity.
While these stunning peppers look great in any garden, you can use these peppers in fresh foods and salads, as well as infused in hot sauces and salsas. Mexican Sunrise peppers are also great for drying into a nice, semi-hot chili powder to sprinkle on meats, sides, and other grilled food.
