Description
Chilli Name: PEPPAPEACH STRIPEY
Chilli Species: Capsicum Baccatum
Chilli Origin: Finland
Chilli Heat: Medium
Peppa Peach Stripey is a visually distinctive Capsicum baccatum variety grown for its attractive striped pods and balanced heat. It is valued for both ornamental appeal and practical kitchen use, combining colour with approachable pungency.
Pods are elongated to slightly irregular, often with gentle twisting. Fruits ripen from green to peach with characteristic vertical striping, though striping intensity can vary between pods. Pod walls are moderately thick, making them suitable for fresh use, slicing, and cooking.
Flavour is fruity and bright with mild citrus notes typical of baccatum chillies. Heat is regarded as Medium, providing a warming chilli presence that complements the flavour rather than overpowering it. No formally published Scoville Heat Unit figure is available for this variety.
Plants are tall and vigorous with a branching habit common to Capsicum baccatum. They benefit from a long growing season and perform best in greenhouses or sheltered outdoor positions, producing good yields once established.
The background and breeder of Peppa Peach Stripey are not formally documented. It is recognised as a modern selection grown for colour variation, flavour, and productivity rather than historical or regional significance.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
