About Buena Mulata

(Capsicum annuum) A very rare, extremely productive, and stunning hot pepper being offered exclusively through Baker Creek! William Woys Weaver introduced us to this pepper from his grandfather's collection. His grandfather received the pepper from African-American painter Horace Pippin in 1944. Chameleon-like, it undergoes color changes during ripening, from violet to pink, then orange to brown, and eventually to a deep red. The long, round pods reach 6 to 7 inches long and undergo a unique flavor change as they ripen, with the reds being more sweet and meatier than the violet. The stunning plants also make wonderful potted specimens.
