Description: You are buying 20 seeds of the Fish Pepper. This plant is variegated and so is the fruit! Not something you usually find in peppers. Scoville:5,000 to 30,000 (similar to jalapeno) The walls are not as thick as a jalapeno, but it is also not as hot as a thai pepper, so you can use it in more versatile ways. A 19th century African-American heirloom pepper traditionally used in oyster and crab houses around Chesapeake Bay. Plants are compact with variegated foliage- great for container gardens. The striped pods start out a creamy white color, ripening to a bright red. They are medium-hot, and about 3" long. Maturity: Approx. 80 days The color of the fruit range from green, orange, brown, white and red, being spicy and hot. What really makes this pepper stand out is its wonderful foliage, as the 2’ tall plants have stunning white and green mottled leaves, which makes this variety superb for ornamental and edible landscaping. Fish peppers have a vibrant appearance, making them popular as ornamental peppers. As they grow, their color varies greatly, progressing from an initial creamy white color to red when they mature. Fish peppers are typically hot peppers, and their heat can range from 5,000 to 30,000 on the Scoville scale. The peppers grow to roughly 1.5 to 2 inches (3.8 to 5.1 cm) long, with the plant itself growing to roughly 2 feet (61 cm) in height. (source: Wikipedia)
