15,000-30,000 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!
Last year I decided to plant a "tunnel" of sunflowers on the other side of my tall blueberry bushes and these added a colorful variety to the typical yellow! These are now a favorite that will be a "grow again!"
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
Excellent germination! Excellent packaging! Probably jumped the gun a bit but only planted 6 seeds for now!
