Pepper, Peppapeach Stripey

Here we are again, with something beautiful and delicious.  She's a bit of a mouthful in words but we wouldn't mind stuffing our mouths with this sweet and fruity pepper that has just a hint of spice.  My favorite ways to eat Peppapeach Stripey include: pickled, in hot sauce, added to fajita bowls and even in a breakfast scramble.  

Peppapeach Stripey is best known for its unique coloration as the peach-colored fruits develop red stripes and spots as they ripen.  Each fruit has a unique pattern, ranging from solid stripes to speckled red accents.  

Fave plant color combos: 

• Peppapeach Stripey Pepper + Cardinal Basil
• Peppapeach Stripey Pepper + Purple Basil
• Peppapeach Stripey Pepper + Raspberry Burst Cherry Tomato

Highly productive plants will give you a very generous yield of beautiful striped peppers throughout the growing season.  Grow them next to purple basil and prepare to be wowed in all the beauty.  

Peppers thrive in full sun and well-draining, fertile soil.  Mulching at the base of the plants will ensure good soil retention throughout the growing season.  Great for containers.
