( A medium Hot Pepper 5000-30000 SU )
It is absolutely the novelty of the garden. Special heirloom red 'anatomical' hot peppers. Thought to originate out of the Appalachian region. In addition to the novel shape, this is actually a fine tasting pepper with plenty of heat. Besides being a real conversation piece, it is a good cooking pepper that has a thick fleshy pod that is fairly hot with a unique spicy flavor. It makes a wonderful pot of chili.
A slow germinator, can take up to 2-4 weeks to germinate. It is easy to grow in containers or gardens.
