Sugar Rush Stripey Pepper Seeds

Check it out! It's the Sugar Rush Stripey Pepper! This pepper has quite the origin story. The Sugar Rush Peach, which is Sugar Rush Stripey’s parent, was created in Finland around 2009. This pepper was bred further in Wales. The mutation that turned into the Sugar Rush Stripey was actually discovered in the United States in 2017 by Tom Motta. The legendary pepper grower Chris Fowler has done amazing work to stabilize this pepper. There may be still be some variation, but it is still one of the most exciting new varieties in the pepper community. 

As you can see, the Sugar Rush Stripey pepper is incredibly gorgeous and intriguing. It has a creamy peach color with red stripes. The plants are very productive and will grow to 4-5 feet tall. Sugar Rush Stripey peppers grow to about 5 inches in length and are shaped like other Sugar Rush varieties. However, some of the pods are curved and bulbous. 

The Sugar Rush Stripey is a medium hot pepper that likely falls between 25,000-50,000 SHUs on the Scoville scale. This places it around the same heat level as cayenne peppers. The flavor is sweet and fruity which is very fitting for its name. The walls are fairly thick so they are hearty and crunchy. It is a fan favorite with cheese and crackers or even filled with cream cheese. 

Please Note: This new variety is still unstable. Your grow results could vary in terms of shape, size, and color.
