Bulgarian Carrot Pepper Seeds - Very Hot Peppers - Heirloom

Living in ND we have a short outdoor growing season. Scanning through the Sandia seed catalog I saw these seeds with the words "Cold Tolerant" and I thought perfect for ND and they are warmer than most peppers people in ND eat. This year we had a June 2 light frost (31deg) these plants pulled through like a champ. I got produce from July through the end of September. the peppers were a beautiful bright carrot orange. Flavor was sweet at first and you think this is 12,000 Scoville but give it 10 seconds. the 12,000sc hit you and you think omg amazing. the end of September I had a 5gal bucket of Bulgarian Carrots. ended up slicing them and dehydrating. Now I have 2gal of Bulgarian Carrots chips to snack on, sprinkle on a burger, place on nachos all winter long. Usually I will harvest seed and regrow the next year - not these enjoyed the experience so much I am going to order again for 2023!

BULGARIAN CARROT PEPPER SEEDS... Don't be fooled these are dangerously spicy! Had 70% germination. Our elevation in Hawaii is 3800' ASL with abundant rain and cold nights, and cool days. 50 F to 70 F. This was a vigorous grower, but stopped at about 15' so stayed short. Each little bush produced at least a dozen peppers each, and are still producing. Peppers were very, very spicy, starting deep green and turning bright orange. Not much survives with our tremendous rain but this hot pepper did. Still growing vigorous and strong a year later!

These were planted back in February 2021in the gulf coast Houston area after the freeze broke. They have done super well from then to about June when the weather got hot. At that point, it completely defoliated; however, the plants are coming back and are regrowing foilage.

Overall the flavor is great with mid sized peppers that pack a punch. I made a pretty nice chili oil with these peppers to season Asian cuisine. Would love to get an idea what these peppers are traditionally used for. While medium sized they are not very fleshy but do pack a lot of flavor.

This was the fastest growing of all the peppers I planted with you, it was fun to get bright orange hot peppers – they are very good in salsa.

We planted and grew them last year. Got about 20 peppers total from one plant. Awesome flavor and heat level is perfect. Cannot wait to get some more for 2021 Spring planting.

Since they don't mind cooler temperatures, these are great for growing in the mountains where I live.
