The listing, Rare Heirloom ✽ VARIEGATED FISH PEPPER ✽ 10 Seeds ✽ Organic has ended.

This pre-1870 African-American variety has delightful green and white mottled foliage with pendant shaped 2½"fruits. The peppers start out cream with green stripes, to a striped orange, maturing to a deep red color. They were named Fish Peppers, as the lightest peppers were used to make a white cream sauce for fish and other seafood. Even before they bloom & produce, the variegated foliage is incredible. Keep these isolated from other pepper plants & be ready to remove a few that don't show variegation. 5000 - 10,000 Scoville heat units
