Prairie Fire

Season Overview

Description

The broad-bush 'Prairie Fire' is dotted with small, upright, fiery hot chili peppers that mature from dull yellow to dark red. It is pretty and productive in the bed and in the pot. The variety is well suited for outdoor growing, but can also be grown under shelter. Prairie Fire was tested in a two-year sifting of over 50 Capsicum cultivars for its suitability for cultivation under low-input conditions in pots and outdoors. It is suitable for raw consumption, cooking, and pickling.
