Description:
The Hot Sunset Pepper is a hybrid of the Hungarian Hot Wax and Banana Pepper that received the regional All-American Selection award in 2015 in the Southeast, Heartland, and Great Lake regions for its beautiful and advantageous features.
These pepper plants will grow up to 3 ft. tall and produce an abundance of these 7" long peppers! The plants are disease-resistant and mature earlier than other related types. These peppers are great to grow in the summer as they'll keep producing peppers all season long! The Hot Sunset F1 pepper lives up to its name as it will mature to a rainbow of colors, starting from pale green to buttery yellow, to orange, and then to sunset red.
When harvested, you'll enjoy the sweet flavor with mild heat and a crunchy texture. Try stuffing, frying, and grilling these peppers, or adding them to sandwiches, salads, appetizers, and more. We also recommend adding to your homemade pizzas for a yummy twist!
Please Note: This new variety is still unstable. Your grow results could vary in terms of shape, size, and color.
