Growing Information
Growing Red Peter Hot Pepper
‘Red Peter’ is an heirloom pepper prized for its unusual shape, deep red color, and distinctive fruity flavor. Long, blunt-ended pods develop a subtle raspberry-like note and dry especially well.
Start ‘Red Peter’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Dense, compact plants are well suited to smaller gardens.
Ready to harvest in about 90 days, pick fruits once they reach their mature size and deep red color.
Fruity, distinctive, and flavorful, ‘Red Peter’ is especially well suited to drying, chili powder, sauces, and spicy cooking.

Seeds did sprout quickly. The plants have not produced as of yet. Hopefully we will get some produce soon.

Just planted today so I can't speak much on that. But I only had 4 seeds in the pack. I wasn't expecting that. I came to see how many it said. It said 5 which isn't much better but I did get cheated one seed. That was disappointing.
