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!
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!
I’ve grown lemon drop before and they are productive plants and sweet with a kick. Will continue to grow them next year.

I grew this pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
