Lemon Drop
Lemon Drop
(Capsicum Baccatum)
***NEW TO US IN 2021***
Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
Packet Description:
“Seasoning pepper from Peri ripens to a clear lemon yellow: amazing fruity hot flavor great for hot sauce. 2’ plants are covered with lemon-yellow, thin walled, conical fruits teaching 2-3” long.”
Our take:
(2022) Rich yellow, with strong heat. Get ready for a bountiful harvest. These plants are heavy producers.
Our second year growing, we were able to keep a consistent watering schedule, and successfully defeated a few heavy waves of aphids.
(2021)Very excited to start growing these for the first time. Can’t wait to add these to some hot sauce, if we get a successful crop.
