Pepper Buena Mulata

This rare and beautiful heirloom plant bears long, thin, pointed pods, slightly bent, jester's shoes style, at the end. The pods begin to ripen purple before finally ripening through deepening shades of orange, and finishing, believe it or not, deep red! This long-lost fascinating rediscovery was found, totally forgotten, after years of being frozen, possibly since 1944, in the bottom of an ancient freezer in America. And still, thankfully, they germinated. A most productive plant which can reach 5 feet/1.5m in a greenhouse or warm sheltered garden. (30,000-50,000 SHU)
