The Buena Mulata pepper is a stunning heirloom variety known for its striking color transformation and bold, smoky heat. These long, slender peppers start out a deep purple and gradually shift to vibrant shades of orange, pink, and finally red as they mature. Their unique appearance makes them a showpiece in any garden, and their medium heat level makes them ideal for salsas, stir-fries, and spicy pickles.
Features:
- Pepper Type: Heirloom hot pepper
- Scoville Heat Units: 10,000 to 30,000 SHU
- Maturity Time: 75-80 days from transplant
- Pepper Size: 6-8 inches long
- Ideal for: Salsas, pickling, and cooking
Growing Instructions:
- Seed Starting: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep in a nutrient-rich seed-starting mix. Maintain consistent moisture by bottom-watering if possible.
- Transplanting: Transplant outdoors once nighttime temperatures remain above 55°F. Space plants 18-24 inches apart.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun, 6-8 hours daily, to develop rich color and healthy fruit.
- Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Water at the base of the plant to prevent wetting the foliage.
- Support: The tall, productive plants may need light staking or cages to support their heavy fruit load.
Why Choose Buena Mulata Peppers:
- Colorful Transformation: The vibrant color changes from purple to red make this pepper a standout in any garden.
- Versatile Heat: Medium heat that adds a flavorful kick without overwhelming.
- Heirloom Variety: Adds a touch of history and uniqueness to your pepper collection.
- Prolific Growth: High-yielding plants that produce abundant peppers throughout the season.
Harvesting Tips:
For a milder taste, harvest when the peppers are deep purple. Allow them to mature to red for a sweeter, smokier flavor. Regular harvesting will encourage more fruit production.
Grow Buena Mulata peppers to add both beauty and spice to your garden and kitchen.
