description
The Peppa Peach Stripey pepper is a rare and particularly decorative variety distinguished by its beautiful striped fruits. Discovered by Matt Layton, this pepper comes from the Peppa Peach variety, also known as Peachadew. It retains the same fruity flavor and low heat level, while offering a spectacular appearance.
The fruits are a peach color adorned with irregular red stripes, making it one of the most visually striking peppers in the garden. The plants are vigorous and very productive, yielding an abundance of small, crisp fruits.
As this is not a 100% stabilized variety, some variations may occur. For example, some branches may produce entirely red fruit, while the majority will display the characteristic stripes.
