Clovers Garden Sport Pepper Plant – Two -2- Live Plants – Not Seeds –Each 4"-7" Tall- in 3.5 Inch Pots

The Sport Pepper plant is a sturdy bushy pepper plant that grows an abundance of smallish green and red peppers. This pepper is most commonly pickled and then used on a variety of sandwiches, the most famous being the “Chicago-style Hotdog”. The peppers themselves are not that big, resembling a tobasco pepper but slightly larger, reaching about 2.5 inches long and provide a tangy zesty flavor to whatever sandwich or dish you add them to. The peppers are hot and turn from green to red when mature. They are referred to as a medium heat pepper, but there is no Scoville rating available currently. A variety from the USA, the bushy sturdy plant reaches 20-30 inches high, and grows a great abundance of peppers throughout the season. Plant peppers in a good sunny location in a rich well-draining soil. Plants should be mulched to help maintain soil moisture and prohibit weed growth. As with other heat type peppers, use gloves when working with the peppers, as the oils from them can burn unprotected skin. Maturity in 70-80 days (from seeding), with an ongoing harvest until fall
