A hotter relative of the jalapeño, this variety is named for its distinctive shape and color.
Also known as Mordipeffer and Mordis Geelriewe Peffer. This pepper is thought to be the product of Mennonite horticulturist Jacob B. Garber (1800–1886) of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A hotter relative of the jalapeño, this variety is named for its distinctive shape and color. Pods ripen from green to yellow to brilliant orange, then to a deep orange-red. They reach 1-3” in length and have a smokey hot flavor. Plants are compact and perfect for containers. Non-Isolated.
