Description

The listing, Beautiful Heirloom ~ Variegated Fish Pepper 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 plant with flower barriers to attract insects away (as crossing with other peppers can occur).

Plants can be overwintered on pots -- used like house plants. Also can be propagated by cuttings.

10 seeds.

I consider reasonable GIN offers.

BEWARE ROSE SEEDS! There are GOOD AND VALID reasons 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!

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! RUN AWAY!
