Lemon Drop is a rare variety of pepper that produces loads of 2-3", bright yellow peppers on compact, 2-foot-tall plants. Originating from Peru, where it is also known as "qillu uc hu," the Lemon Drop pepper is a seasoning pepper that is commonly used to flavor a variety of meats, sauces, and stews. The color of this variety is truly one-of-a-kind —a bright yellow hue that is oddly reminiscent of a lemon starburst candy. One shouldn't be surprised, then, to discover that the peppers put forth a fresh lemony scent when you slice them open. Aji Lemon Drop peppers pack a spicy punch that lands squarely between a jalapeno and a habanero on the Scoville scale—perfect for those that want to taste some heat without setting their mouth on fire. Whether you're a devoted chili head or just looking to treat friends and family to some authentic Peruvian cooking, the Aji Lemon Drop is a fun and exciting pepper variety for any grower. Matures approximately 100 days after transplant. 30,000-50,000 Scoville heat units. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
