Hot Pepper Mexibell F1
Hot Pepper Mexibell F1 looks like a sweet pepper, but it’s not. This unusual hybrid has the looks of a 3-4 lobed blocky sweet pepper (3-4in diameter), but deliveries a hot chilli heat similar to a hot “Anaheim” pepper. The plants are relative compact at 24in high with good tolerance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. The fruits will develop green and mature to a bright red when fully mature at which point the heat is at its best.
