Rooster Spur is an old family heirloom donated to Seed Savers Exchange by Virgil T. Ainsworth of Laurel, Mississippi. Reportedly grown by Mr. Ainsworth's family for more than 100 y ears, the Rooster Spur Pepper was traditionally used to make Rooster Spur Sausage. Rooster Spur produces bountiful bouquets of small, one to two-inch peppers which blanket the tops of sprawling, highly branched plants. Firm, hot peppers are excellent for pickling whole or for use in hot sauces. Can also be dried and ground like cayenne. Very hot. Harvests begin approximately 95 days after transplanting. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds. Show more
