About This

• All-America Selections (AAS) Winner 2018. A Hungarian hot pepper, Mexican Sunrise F1 is a fruit vegetable. As ornamental as it is productive, the plant creates a beautiful display of peppers in a spectrum of colors from lime green to yellow then orange and red as the fruits mature.
• The plant sets small, star-shaped "perfect" flowers, followed by attractive 6- to 7-inch, conical, pendant-shaped peppers, weighing up to 2 ounces. These chilies are thick-walled and semi-hot, having a sweet, savory flavor. They can be eaten at any stage, and they can be pickled. Hot peppers are a good source of vitamin C.
• An herbaceous, frost-tender, short-lived evergreen perennial, typically grown as an annual. It grows rapidly, forming a compact, well-branched, bushy plant that produces 40+ fruits over the season.
• Hot pepper is easy to grow from seed, growing best in locations with full sun and fertile, organically rich, moist, well-draining soil, but it is adaptable to a wide range of soils. The plant is a low maintenance but pinching back young plants encourages bushiness.
• A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, hot pepper seeds can be direct sown into warm spring soil after all threat of frost has passed. For an earlier harvest, seeds can be started indoors 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting.
