In the early days of Windcrest Farm, I grew these peppers for a pickled pepper we considered selling under the name of "Paradise Peppers". The boys on the farm referred to them as "crack peppers" because they were so addictive! Still a regular pepper for our household - fresh as hotter alternative to Jalapenos or pickled.

This pepper ripens from pale yellow to deep golden orange to cherry red and can grow up to 5-1/2 inches long. We harvest them light green and the length of a mason jar for pickling. The heat does intensify as peppers mature.

Shipping Policy
Please note that plants are seasonal items. We begin shipping plants, with the exception of onion transplants, in mid-March. Plant shipping is paused during the heat of the summer, then resumed in early September through late November.

NOTE: Not all plants listed on our website are available for shipping. Non-shippable plants are marked either "LOCAL ONLY" or "Non-Shippable". Full refunds are issued for plants that are ordered, but not available within the shipping season.

If you order plants in the shipping off-season, they will automatically be back-ordered and shipped during our shipping seasons.

We use primarily USPS for shipping. If you prefer another carrier, please contact us before placing an order and we will quote the price of your order plus shipping.

Please use the ORDER NOTES field at checkout to give special shipping instructions.
