Growing Information

Growing Lemon Drop Hot Pepper

‘Lemon Drop’ is a Peruvian heirloom pepper prized for its intense heat, vivid yellow color, and distinctive lemon fragrance. Nearly seedless, cone-shaped fruits release a fresh citrus aroma when cut and cover vigorous plants throughout the season.

Start ‘Lemon Drop’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. This variety is well suited to containers and smaller gardens.

Ready to harvest in about 95 days, pick fruits once they reach their mature size and brilliant yellow color.

Hot, citrusy, and aromatic, ‘Lemon Drop’ is especially well suited to sauces, seasoning, drying, and spicy recipes.

A new favorite!

Six seeds were started, and all six germinated and were eventually planted outdoors. I kept two and shared the rest. One was planted in a raised bed, the other in a self-watering pot. The self-watering was certainly easier to look after, but the other plant produced nearly double the crop and had larger fruit. Both were terrific producers. The fruit has been used sliced in salads, mixed with yellow habaneros for jelly, used in hot salsa, and dried for use wherever needed later. Nice flavor and good but not overbearing heat. A definite variety for 2023!
