I love peppers for their variety, both in appearance and flavors. Here are a few different types I have grown in my back yard over the years.
The hottest in the world ‘Carolina Reaper’
‘Ancho Villa’
‘Black Pearl’
‘Socrates’
‘Flexum’ is sweet.
‘Biggie Chili’ is sweet too.
‘Pimiento’, thicker than a bell pepper.
Giant Acongacua
Peruvian Purple Pepper
Zig Zag
Super Chili
Santa Fe (Rio Grande type)
Prairie Fire
Poinsettia, one tall plant (3′)
Fish, variegated pepper
Inca Red Drop. 3′ x 5′.
Purple Jalapeno
Joe E Parker, mild
Ornamental Medusa
Yellow Cheese pimiento. Sweet!
Habanero pile
Sweet Cayene
My pepper is bigger than yours
Giant Acongacua, sweet as an apple.
‘New Mex Sunrise, Sunset, Eclipse’ and Jalapenos in yellow, orange and red.
Harvest
‘Tabasco’
do you really eat that hot stuff? my stomach is a burning!
For sure, some of these peppers double as paint remover but others are mild, not wild. Besides the typical bell pepper, a sweeter pepper is the pimiento. The fruit is smaller but the walls are thicker and sweeter. I’ve grown ‘Lipstick’, ‘Red Heart’ and ‘Yellow Cheese’ that you eat like an apple.
