About This

• Buffy, an F1 hybrid hot pepper, is a fruit vegetable attractive enough for an edible landscape. The plant sets small star-shaped "perfect" flowers followed by attractive, approximately 1½ inches long, slightly triangular, green to red peppers with thick, juicy walls and an excellent smoky flavor having an underlying sweetness.
• Extremely hot, these fiery fruits have a rating of 500,000 units on the Scoville scale. Use fresh or dried and ground as a spice. Hot peppers are a good source of vitamins A and C.
• Typically grown as an annual, this herbaceous, frost-tender, short-lived evergreen perennial is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). A Capsicum frutescens, also known as cayenne pepper, tabasco pepper, and red pepper, Buffy grows rapidly, forming a strong, compact, upright plant with slender branches of smooth, dark green leaves and erect pepper pods.
• The shrubby, multi-branched plant produces good yields all season, typically 250 to 280 peppers per plant, and may require staking or caging for support. The peppers are held high on the plant and are very ornamental. Buffy can also be grown in a large container and brought indoors for winter.
• Buffy is easy to grow from seed. It prefers full sun and fertile, organically rich, moist, well-drained soil but is adaptable to a wide range of soils, including clay, loam, and sand. The plant prefers an acidic pH but tolerates a pH range of 4.3 to 8.3
