PP669A - Witch Stick
Witch Stick pepper seeds were definite highlight from our field trials. The extra long fruits start green and mature to deep, dark red. The corkscrew-shaped pods grow to 20cm (8") long, with more than a dozen fruits on each plant. The flavour is sweet and distinctive. The pith and seeds are quite hot, but easily removed to reduce the overall spice. These plants are productive in the field with no special mulch or preparation, and they also performed well in raised beds and five gallon containers. The novelty of the twisted fruits makes them fun to grow even as ornamentals.

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.
