Peppapeach × Brazilian Starfish Pepper Seeds
A colourful collector cross combining the compact, wrinkled orange pods of Brazilian Starfish with the warm peach-orange tones and fruity character of Peppapeach. Plants carry abundant, unusual peppers with real kitchen value for sauces, ferments, pickles and fresh garnishes.
What to Expect
- Fruit: compact, lobed and wrinkled pods with a range of orange shades and natural shape variation.
- Flavour: fruity, bright and aromatic with a building medium-hot kick.
- Heat: variable from plant to plant because this is a cross; expect medium to hot heat.
- Kitchen use: fermented hot sauce, fresh salsa, pickling, drying and colourful garnish.
Growing Notes
- Start indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost.
- Transplant after nights are reliably warm and provide full sun.
- Support productive plants and select fruit from the plants you like best.
Packet: 10+ seeds. Experimental open-pollinated cross; pod shape, colour and heat may vary.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Germinate at 26–30 °C on a heat mat; peppers stall below 22 °C. Pot up to 10–15 cm before hardening off outside after nights stay above 12 °C.
Feed balanced through bloom, then bump potassium for fruiting. Stake taller varieties. More detail in our full Canadian growing guide.
Match the pepper to the technique: thin-walled varieties blister fast in a hot pan; thick-walled ones roast or stuff beautifully; fruit-forward ones make balanced sauces and pickles. The variety's flavour profile is your shortcut — see Choosing the right pepper for a use-case guide.
