Regularly voted as the Worlds most pornographic pepper! Peppers are mildly hot and turn from green to red when mature. The chilies are downwards pointing and prefers slight shade and a wind free growing area Peter Peppers are hotter than the tabasco and at least 10 times hotter than the jalapeno.

They grow ok here and are reasonably hot. Not much taste otherwise. Interesting novelty but not very useful.
