Annual15,000-30,000 SHU. From Peru, The Lemon Drop is a spicy and tangy seasoning pepper with a fruity lemony flavor and aroma. Fruits grow up to 2” long and dry well. This variety is an extremely rare find outside of South America. Its origin makes it heat tolerant giving it the ability to produce high numbers of fruit throughout the heat of summer!
Very productive plant with an excellent heat similar to a serrano, crisp and juicy thin wall, and a fruit forward citrusy flavor.
Would highly recommend for any culinary garden as these are (in my opinion) better tasting than a serrano and will stand up texturally to a long stew (where a serrano tends to melt into it).
Also makes killer salsa!
Grew these for the first time last year. These have a great crisp flavor with a hint of citrus. My favorite part was there were very few seeds. These made a great hot sauce and the color is just gorgeous. Will be growing these every year.
These grew really well, but I did not start harvesting until October in Maryland 7A. I got a huge harvest. They have a great citrus/passion fruit/pineapple taste to them which made them amazing in salsa. They also are VERY hot (or my plant was) more along the lines of a mild habanero. They freeze and dry well. Start early as they take longer to mature than jalapeños, etc.
We grew only one of these and it produced literally hundreds of peppers. They were super hot but very good. We use these in venison sausage (hot) and spicy dishes. They dry up nice if you want to keep them for future torment on your taste buds LOL
Good germination rate and heavy fruit set once summer heat arrived. Looking forward to making hot sauce!
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
I have been buying seeds from you for the last 3 years. They germinate very well, and have produced the best gardens I have ever had. I just got my order for this year started in my greenhouse. For the first time I opened a packet of All Seasons Cabbage and there were no seeds in it. the rest of the order is doing great. The price of the seeds also good.

This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
