Tangerine Tiger Hot Pepper Seeds

The Tangerine Tiger Hot Pepper is a visually striking and flavorful variety resulting from a cross between the Aji Tangerine and Sugar Rush Peach Stripey peppers. Known for its vibrant, striped pods and tangerine color, this pepper adds a beautiful pop of color to any garden or dish. The peppers can vary in shape, with some being longer and others more stout, making them visually interesting as well as delicious.

With a mild to moderate heat level, the Tangerine Tiger typically falls in the range of 5,000 to 10,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), providing a manageable kick for most people. Its fruity flavor profile, with sweet and tangy notes, makes it ideal for salsas, hot sauces, and fresh salads, offering a delightful balance of flavor and heat.

The plants are prolific, growing tall and sturdy, often requiring staking or caging to support their growth. They are known for being highly productive, yielding a significant amount of peppers throughout the growing season. The time from flowering to fruit ripening is approximately 80 to 90 days, and the plants thrive in sunny, warm conditions.

The Tangerine Tiger is perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to add a flavorful and visually appealing pepper to their collection.
