- 100+ days. Capsicum annuum. These are the rare and unusual Pepper. This strange pepper is shaped like a man's penis. They have a heat level like a jalapeno and a good flavor too! It's Peter pepers are adaptable to a variety of growing conditions.
- The peter pepper, particularly the red variety, has been described as a "miniature replica of the circumcised male organ". The pod of the pepper is wrinkled and has a round tip with a cleft. Peter peppers are approximately 3 to 4 inches in length, and 1 to 1.5 inches wide when fully mature. The pod of the pepper has also been noted for its pungency.
- The unusually phallic shaped fruits of the penis pepper resemble human penises when fully ripe. In addition to the conversation value of this pepper, it has a variety of uses including salsas and ground pepper. Peter peppers are prolific producers! The penis pepper heat level ranges between 5,000 and 30,000 scoville units which is hotter than Tabasco and even hotter than the Jalapeno. Instruction
- PEPPER Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Peppers germinate best in warm soil, so gentle bottom heat may be helpful until seedlings emerge. Wait to transplant outdoors until soil is warm. Pepper varieties come from tropical humid regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Organic Seed Starting Material for best germination results.
- Growing Peppers: Peppers, like tomatoes, grow in well-drained fertile soil. Almost all peppers have the same requirements for successful growth. Plant them in good, well-drained, fertile soil - and make sure they get lots of sunlight and a good inch of water per week. In many ways, they mimic the same requirements needed for growing great tomatoes. At Planting Time: We plant all of our peppers with a good shovel full of compost in the planting hole, and then give them a good dose of compost tea every few weeks for the first 6 weeks of growth. We also mulch around each of our pepper plants with a good 1 to 2″ thick layer of compost.
