PP677A - Giant Ristra
F1, 80 days. For chilies, these are substantially large. At 18cm (7”) long, Giant Ristra looks like a Marconi type, but it has the genuine heat of a cayenne. This All America Selections Winner can be used fresh, roasted, or dried - or tied into decorative ristras for winter displays. The heat development was better than some of the other varieties in our field trials. Spice lovers will adore its tear-inducing 30,000-50,000 SHUs. One of the winning qualities is that the plants are tall enough that very few of the pods reach the ground, even though they are so large.

- 18cm (7") long pods

How To Grow
Peppers are tropical plants that need lots of heat and attention to detail when starting them. Well grown in a warm summer, they are the gardener’s triumph. Interestingly, the hot peppers often do better in a cool summer than the large bell peppers. If the hot peppers have not coloured up fully on your plants, pull up the whole plant and hang in a warm dry area. Follow along with this handy How to Grow Peppers from seeds guide and grow spicy and sweet delight.
