Description:

One of the most sought-after peppers in the United States, the Charleston hot pepper is a very popular Cayenne variety with amazing growing qualities and an incredible flavor. This variety came from plant pathologist Phil Dukes, whose 12-year-long development of this pepper was met with widespread acclaim and high demand.

Once you get your hands on these pepper seeds, growing them is fairly easy, as these pepper plants reach about 2-3 ft. tall and produce high yields of fresh peppers per plant. The rainbow colors start out yellow-green, then golden yellow, bright orange then deep red when it ripens. It is about 20 times hotter than the typical Cayenne (about 70,000 to 80,000 Scoville Units) and can be grown anywhere in the USA.

The Charleston pepper has a neutral (peppery) flavor that makes it wonderful for drying and grinding into a nice chili powder to use on any food. These hot peppers can also be used as an addition to soups and salads, as well as infused in homemade hot sauces and even salsas.

Worth the Challenge

This will be the 3rd year for Charlestons in our garden. Year 1 was better than last year for productivity, but they are so delicious that it is worth the effort to figure out the best growing methods. Charleston is My FAVORITE cayenne by far (and, with the added heat, a little goes a long way).
