Description

The listing, ~~ Heirloom Variegated Fish Pepper~~ Beautiful and Tasty has ended.

Bakercreek states; "80 days. An African-American heirloom popular in the Philadelphia/Baltimore region. A pre-1947 variety that was used in fish and shellfish cookery. 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-feet tall plants have stunning white and green mottled leaves, which makes this variety superb for ornamental and edible landscaping."

Seeds were collected from mature RIPE pods and with some isolation of about 30' to protect from wind pollination. Though they are self-pollinating, also planted with flower barriers to attract insects away (as crossing with other peppers can occur). 10 seeds ~ GIN (if offered) gets double.

P.S. BEWARE OF ROSE SEEDS! There's a reason why we don't see rose seeds sold in big garden centers. More info http://goo.gl/0UJZry

Beware of any home collected seeds from hybrid plants. They're no longer the same variety. Ask questions. Research >reliable< sources. Learn to succeed in your gardening efforts!

Thirdly, a GREEN bell pepper is an UNRIPE bell pepper & isn't likely to provide VIABLE seeds. There are very few varieties that produce bell peppers that ripen to green. Same for GREEN Jalapeno & most other pepper varieties. It only take minutes to check the variety & discover the color of the RIPE pepper.

Apple seeds? Mercy! Don't get me started!

If you're going to save your own seed to grow more plants, don't let them cross with your other peppers Melody or you'll have to clone cuttings of the mother plant to get the same pepper. I've cloned/rooted them just in water. I've read that these cross fairly easily and you just don't want that if you want pure seed.
