Description:
If you love peach colors and amazing flavor as much as we do, then you'll love the Sugar Rush Peach Hot Pepper! Bred by Chris Fowler of Wales by open pollination of various varieties of Aji Peppers, he stumbled upon this (happy) accident, and we're so glad he did!
The Sugar Rush Peach pepper plant grows up to a staggering 5 ft. tall and stands above others in your garden. As they grow pods, you may want to stake this plant for additional support. Nonetheless, these are disease-resistant plants that protect the healthy growth of these 4" long, slightly-wrinkled pods. In fact, the Sugar Rush Peach pepper plants produce nearly 40 large pods each, so be prepared for bountiful harvests!
The pepper’s flavors are identical to an Aji Amarillo but sweeter and have an amazing citrusy, sugar-sweet flavor with notes of apricot and peach and some unexpected smoky, complex heat. You may also notice muted undertones of tropical-like fruit when eaten raw. With estimated heat levels around 50,000-150,000 SHUs, these share similar heat with Habanero peppers. We recommend letting them grow to the fully ripened peach color as these hot peppers will without a doubt make the best hot sauces, salsas, and pepper jams. They are also great cooked, fresh, or pickled!
*Non-Isolated - Disclaimer: While some of our varieties marked non-isolated were isolated when grown, they are an unstable pepper seed variety that may produce plants with genetic variations, making them less predictable and consistent in terms of traits such as flavor, size, and heat level. While this can lead to unique and exciting variations, it's important to note that these seeds may not reliably reproduce the same characteristics from one generation to the next. Planting non-isolated/unstable pepper seeds can be an adventurous gardening experience, but be prepared for some degree of variability in the resulting pepper plants. We will not be able to offer replacements for variation in traits.
