Ship to
Here's a chili pepper that’s perfect for spicier salsas and citrus-based homemade hot sauces. Hot enough without being overbearing and possessing a lemony tang, this slender 3” pepper is a bright gold when mature. This native of Peru has become a real favorite there for spicing up cooked meals and fresh snacks. Fruiting prolifically, and sometimes acquiring a dark purple blush, this 2' high pepper plant is ready to harvest in 100 days. But how hot is it? It has a medium-heat punch, somewhere between a hotter serrano chili and a milder cayenne or tabasco pepper. As a bonus, it sports relatively few seeds. The pepper traditionally used to make ceviche, the Peruvian lemon drop pepper brings a citrus pop of fiery flavor to any rice dish, salsa or hot sauce. Plant in fertile well-drained soil in full sun. Deer resistant.
