Beautiful plant, very high yield. We enjoyed peppers throughout the summer and have been using the dried peppers all winter. Will definitely be growing this one again.

A old Southern staple, easy to grow, prolific producer and great flavor. A plate of peas and cornbread is just not the same without a pod of this pepper on the side. It makes a beautiful and tastey pepper sauce also.

A fantastic historic variety; every southern gardener should grow it. Needs zero attention (although you may want to stake it late in the season), completely disease free and productive beyond belief. No animal would dream of bothering it. Serious, pure heat; great for cooking, makes a tasty pepper jelly and hot sauce. My favorite pepper of 2007.

Beautiful plant - approximately 28" tall with a 15" spread. The plant is loaded with both long, straight peppers, and some curving peppers. Peppers mature from green, to dark green to a beautiful red.
