The Variety

Sugar Rush Peach Stripey is a rare and visually striking Capsicum baccatum variety known for its peach-colored pods marked with bold red or orange striping. Originally discovered as a natural mutation of Sugar Rush Peach, it has since been stabilized for consistent production.

Plants are vigorous and highly productive, producing long, conical fruits that stand out both in the garden and at harvest.

Flavor & Heat

Sugar Rush Peach Stripey delivers an exceptionally sweet, tropical flavor with notes of citrus and stone fruit. The sweetness is often more pronounced than the original Sugar Rush Peach.

The heat is moderate and balanced, similar to a cayenne or mild habanero, making it approachable while still providing a noticeable kick.

Garden Notes

Plant outdoors after temperatures are consistently warm. Sugar Rush Peach Stripey prefers full sun, fertile well-drained soil, and consistent watering.

Plants are vigorous and can grow 4–5 feet tall, often requiring staking to support heavy fruit loads. This variety has a longer maturity time and benefits from a full growing season.

🌱 Before You Plant

🌱 Check Night Time Temps

Peppers are warm-season plants and need heat to thrive.

Do not plant outdoors until after the danger of frost has passed and nighttime temperatures stay consistently mild.

Planting too early can slow growth and delay your harvest. Give peppers full sun, warm soil, and a little patience — they’ll take off when the season is right.
