90 days from setting out transplants.
Unusual tri-lobed shape and mildly hot flavor with citrus overtones make this South American pepper a sensation!
Big harvests of 3-inch by 2-inch fruits continue all summer on vigorous plants. They take a while to mature, but you can speed things up by picking these peppers green at 65 days or yellow at 80. Up to 50 peppers on a single plant!
Widely used in Bolivian and Peruvian cuisine, this pepper is quick-growing and very heavy yielding. Expect it to reach 3 to 4 feet high and nicely branched. You can even pop it into a large container on the deck!
Mad Hatter was given an All-America Selection for its unusual appearance, fabulous flavor, and generous yields. You will find that it is widely adapted, thriving in hot summers but quick enough to mature even in short-summer climates. It is vigorous and trouble-free, a good companion to flowering annuals as well as vegetables and herbs. Its spicy aroma helps keep pests at bay!
Start seeds indoors or, in climate with short growing seasons, outdoors at least one week after last frost. If starting indoors, allow 7 to 10 weeks for the seeds to mature into seedlings large enough to transplant safely. Set seedlings (or thin direct-sown seedlings) 2 feet apart in full sun. If planting many seedlings, space rows about 3 feet apart. Fertilize when the blooms appear, and water well.
